Quote from Sa'ar: "We appreciate the decision of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to designate Iran's Revolutionary Guards as a terrorist organisation. This is an important diplomatic and moral decision: Against terror. Against repression. For freedom."

Quote from Brodsky: "We appreciate Ukraine's decision."

Details: Brodsky noted that it was Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha who informed Sa'ar about Ukraine's decision to recognise the IRGC as a terrorist organisation.

Previously: Zelenskyy announced that Ukraine had designated the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as a terrorist organisation.

For reference: The IRGC is a branch of Iran's executive military establishment with broad influence and powers, operating in parallel with the regular army.

Background:

• On 29 January, the European Union designated the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as a terrorist organisation.
• On Thursday, the EU also approved additional restrictive measures against Iran over the suppression of protests and its continued military support for Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine.
• Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump announced that a large American naval flotilla was approaching Iran's shores and urged Tehran to immediately sit down for talks to reach an agreement on Iran's nuclear programme.
