The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine expresses deep concern about the reports in the international media on the possible transfer of ballistic missiles by Iran to the russian federation.

We once again call on the leadership of the Islamic Republic of Iran to refrain from delivering any types of weapons and military equipment to russia, which according to the UN Charter and the norms of international law is an aggressor state.

It is for more than two years now that Ukraine and Ukrainians have been suffering daily from russian terrorist attacks with all types of lethal weapons, including drones of Iranian production.

The deepening of military-technical cooperation between russia and Iran poses serious security threats not only for Ukraine, but for the whole Europe, the Middle East and the world. We call on the international community to increase pressure on Tehran and moscow to protect international peace and security.

Iran must completely and definitively stop providing weapons to russia in order to prove with actions, not words, the sincerity of the statements of its political leadership about non-involvement in feeding the russia`s deadly war machine.

We warn the official Tehran that if the fact of Iran's transfer of ballistic missiles to the russian federation is confirmed, it will have devastating consequences for Ukrainian-Iranian bilateral relations.
