Zelensky meets exiled Crown Prince of Iran

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky met in Munich with Iran's Crown Prince in exile, Reza Pahlavi.

Zelensky stated this on Telegram, according to Ukrinform.

He expressed condolences to the victims of the Iranian regime and noted that Ukraine supports the Iranian people in their struggle for their future.

"During our conversation, we focused on the situation in Iran and the areas where the Iranian people need support. We discussed the importance of strengthening sanctions against the Iranian regime and any other dictatorial regimes," Zelensky said.

The interlocutors condemned cooperation between Russia and Iran, in particular the supply of Shahed drones by the Iranian regime to Russia and the transfer of licenses for their production. They emphasized that such a partnership poses a real threat not only to Ukraine but to the entire region.

Zelensky thanked the Crown Prince of Iran for supporting Ukraine's territorial integrity. "It is vital to make every effort to protect human lives. Ukraine is ready to help on its part," he noted.

For his part, as reported by the Office of the President, the Crown Prince thanked Ukraine for recognizing the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as a terrorist organization.
