The United States will send an additional $ 400 million in military aid to Ukraine. This was announced by the national security adviser to the president of the United States, Jake Sullivan, after meeting with the president of Ukraine. The package includes funding for additional air defense. Aid to Ukraine, as well as sanctions against Iran for the delivery of combat drones to Russia, were also discussed during the ministerial summit of the G7 countries.
US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken said: “We are also working to impose sanctions on those who support President Putin’s war. This includes Iran, whose combat drones are killing Ukrainian civilians and destroying civilian infrastructure, and whose personnel in Crimea are helping Russia carry out these brutal attacks. “
Meanwhile, Iran has admitted for the first time that it has supplied Russia with drones. Iranian officials have previously denied having armed Russia in its war against Ukraine.
Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollaiyan said: “Regarding Western outrage over claims that the Islamic Republic of Iran has provided Russia with missiles and drones to aid it in its war in Ukraine. The missile part is completely false, the drone part is true. We have provided a limited number of drones to Russia in the months leading up to the war in Ukraine. We agreed with the Ukrainian Foreign Minister that they would provide us with all the evidence that Russia is using Iranian drones in Ukraine. ” .
Just this week, the Iranian ambassador called the UN allegations of drone deliveries completely unfounded and reiterated Iran’s position of neutrality in the war. Iran’s claims so far are drastically different from reality: reports continue to emerge about the damage caused by combat drones to Ukraine’s civilian infrastructure.
