"In the coming days" Ukraine will receive means to counter Iranian kamikaze drones, which Russia uses to attack Ukrainian cities, Yevropeyska Pravda has quoted NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg as saying at the Berlin Foreign Policy Forum.

"The most important thing we can do is to fulfill what the Allies promised, to activate and provide even more air defence systems. In the coming days, NATO will deliver counter-drone systems to address the specific threat from drones, including from Iran," he said.

He stressed that "no state should support Russia's illegal war against Ukraine".

According to Stoltenberg, the air defence systems already transferred to Kyiv have changed the situation on the battlefield. Therefore, Russia was unable to gain control over the airspace of Ukraine.

As previously reported, the United States agrees with Western allies that Iran's supply of explosive drones to Russia violates UN sanctions.
