Ukraine has full information about Iran's supply of drones to Russia - NSDC

Ukraine has full information about Iran's supply of drones to Russia, and if Iran dares to supply missiles to Russia, it will be another challenge for Ukraine.

According to Ukrinform, Oleksiy Danilov, Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine, said this in an interview with the Voice of America.

"We have a clear understanding of what is happening with Iran, based on our intelligence and the intelligence of our partners. We are more than sure that these are Iranian drones. They supplied them to the Russian Federation and, unfortunately, this is still happening today. And this is a big challenge for us. Moreover, we know for sure that the Russian Federation is in talks with Iran on the supply of other weapons to Russia. On the one hand, we should be happy that the Russian Federation does not have the internal ability to win this war without the involvement of other countries, but on the other hand, it will be an additional challenge for us if Iran dares to supply Russia with not only drones but also missiles," Danilov said.

He added that the Ukrainian military had already learned to repel drone attacks, but, unfortunately, there are also cases when they achieve their target, and this is a challenge for the country.

Commenting on the destruction of half of Ukraine's energy infrastructure, from which the civilian population suffers, Danilov said that Russia as a terrorist country had chosen exactly this path of war.

"Unfortunately, they don't remove from the agenda a very simple issue of destroying us as a nation. I am more than sure that they are no different than last century's Hitler. This is the same regime today, this is the same Hitler. If that one [Hitler] exterminated the Jews, then this one [Putin] says: 'I want to exterminate the Ukrainians'," Danilov said.
