Ukraine has full information about Iran's supply of drones to Russia, National Security and Defence Council Secretary Oleksiy Danilov said in an interview with the Voice of America.
"We have a clear understanding, according to our intelligence and the intelligence of our partners, of what is happening with Iran. We are more than certain that these are Iranian drones. They supplied them to the Russian Federation, and, unfortunately, this is still happening today. And this is a big challenge for us. Moreover, we know for sure that the Russian Federation is negotiating with Iran on the supply of other weapons to the territory of Russia," Danilov said.
According to him, on one hand, Ukraine should be happy that the Russian Federation does not have the internal capacity to win this war without the involvement of other countries, and on the other hand, it will be an additional challenge if Iran dares to supply Russia with not only drones but also missiles.
Danilov noted that the Ukrainian military has already learned to repel drone attacks, but there are cases when they reach their goal. This is a challenge for Ukraine.
"As for the 50% destruction of our energy system, which works not for the military, but for the civilian population: unfortunately, the Russian Federation as a terrorist country has chosen this path of war with our country. Unfortunately, they do not remove from the agenda the very simple question they raise - the destruction of us as a nation," Danilov said.
He is sure that the Russian leadership is no different from Hitler. According to him, it is the same present-day regime, the same Hitler.
Recently, the Head of the EU Diplomacy Josep Borrell said that it is necessary to immediately stop Tehran's military support to Moscow.
As reported, the United States believes that UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres succumbed to pressure from Russia and therefore did not send officials to Ukraine to check the use of Iranian drones by Russia.
