Quote: "Events in the Middle East and the Gulf region are unfolding extremely rapidly.
Iran also provided other weapons to Russia. Over the course of this full-scale war, Russia has used more than 57,000 Shahed-type attack drones against the Ukrainian people...
Therefore, it is fair to give the Iranian people a chance to rid themselves of a terrorist regime and to guarantee security for all nations that have suffered from terror originating in Iran."
Details: Zelenskyy stated that Ukrainians posed no threat to Iran, yet the Iranian regime has become an accomplice to Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin, providing Russia with drones and other technologies.
The Ukrainian leader stressed that it is important not to allow the war to expand.
He added, "Whenever there is American resolve, global criminals weaken."
