Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba says he will propose to President Volodymyr Zelenskiy cutting diplomatic ties with Iran over its supplying Russia with drones and other weaponry for Moscow's unprovoked invasion of Ukraine.
Kuleba told reporters in Kyiv on October 18 that would make the proposal because of the "vast destruction inflicted by Iranian drones on Ukraine's infrastructure, including many deaths and suffering brought" on by Russia's usage of the drones.
Kuleba added that Ukraine previously had never taken an anti-Iranian position, but after "Iran became an accomplice of Russian crimes on our territory," Kyiv will take "a clear and fair position."
"Iran's actions are meanness and lies that we will not tolerate," Kuleba said.
"If Iran stops supplying Russia with weapons, we will talk about a revival of our complex of ties."
Kuleba's statement came as Russia continued to pound the country with a barrage of strikes from the air using kamikaze drones and missiles.
Russia is said to have bought hundreds of Iranian-made Shahed-136 drones to use against Ukraine.
