Ukraineโs Foreign Ministry responded after Iran said it considers Ukraine a legitimate target:
โThe Iranian regime has been supporting the murder of Ukrainians for years by directly supplying drones and technology for Russiaโs aggression against Ukraine. In this context, hearing anyone from that regime threaten Ukraine while citing the right to self-defense enshrined in Article 51 of the UN Charter is absurd. Itโs like hearing a serial killer justify his crimes by citing the criminal code. The Iranian regime must be held accountable for all of its crimes against the Iranian people and other countries and peoples,โ said Ukrainian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Heorhii Tykhyi.
