Ukraine's Foreign Ministry has denied the claim.

Quote from Tykhyi: "This is a lie. We officially deny this information.

The Iranian regime often carries out such disinformation operations, and in this it is no different from the Russians."

Background: Ebrahim Azizi, a member of Iran's Parliamentary Commission on National Security and Foreign Policy, claimed earlier that Ukraine has turned its territory into a legitimate target for Iran because of its drone support.
