Reports of Russia supplying weapons to Iran confirm cooperation between Moscow and Tehran – Sybiha
Reports of Russia providing military equipment to Iran confirm Ukraine’s assertions regarding the cooperation between Russia and Tehran to destroy security in Europe and the Middle East, stated Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiha.
"Reports that Russia is providing Iran with not only satellite data, intelligence, and resources, but also combat drones, confirm what Ukraine has been saying all along: the regimes in Moscow and Tehran are working together to destroy security in Europe and the Middle East," he wrote on the X social network.
According to Sybiha, Putin is doing this intentionally, having continued Russia’s war against Ukraine. "And now he is doing the same in the Middle East: continuing the war. For him, war is a source of profit, especially considering oil prices. The longer the suffering lasts, the better for him," he emphasized.
Sybiha added that any lifting of restrictions on the Russian economy makes no sense; on the contrary, pressure must be sharply increased. "The price of both wars must become unbearable for both criminal regimes," he stressed.
Earlier, the Financial Times reported that Moscow has close ties with Tehran and has provided its ally with crucial support, including satellite imagery, targeting data, and intelligence support, according to sources familiar with the matter.
