The press release issued by the President of Ukraine on 23 September 2022.

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy commissioned the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to respond to the facts of the use of Iranian-made weapons by the troops of the Russian Federation on the Ukrainian territory.

Despite the fact that the leadership of Iran has repeatedly publicly declared its neutrality and readiness to mediate in stopping Russian aggression against Ukraine, samples collected on the battlefield confirmed that Russia is using Iranian-made weapons in Ukraine.

“Such actions of Iran are considered as a step against the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine, as well as against the life and health of Ukrainian citizens,” spokesman of the President Serhiy Nykyforov emphasized.
