Iran continues to supply Russia with weapons, and in this regard, Ukraine hopes for pressure from the international community on Iran to stop these supplies.

Yurii Ihnat, the spokesperson for the Ukrainian Air Force Command, said this at the Ukraine-Ukrinform Media Center.

"Flights from Iran to the Russian Federation have become regular. There is no need to connect [attacks on Ukraine] with the arrival of aircraft [from Iran]. They have a common sea. They can deliver much larger volumes of cargo through the Caspian Sea," Ihnat said.

Therefore, according to him, it makes no sense to talk about the ways of delivery of Iranian-made Shahed one-way attack drones. "The question is how much and what Iran can deliver, what type of weapon. Because the missile issue cannot be ruled out either. The Russian Federation needs this weaponry," he said.

Ihnat noted that Ukrainian society hopes that the world community will put pressure on Iran so that this does not happen.
