Russia shared with Iran satellite intelligence on 50–53 energy system facilities in Israel, thereby helping Tehran carry out strikes on civilian infrastructure.

This was stated by President Volodymyr Zelensky in an interview with AP, Ukrinform reports, citing the President’s Telegram channel.

“Russia shared their satellite intelligence with Iran about Israel's energy system – some 50–53 facilities in total. They are helping Iran to launch attacks. We are talking about civilian infrastructure, nothing military in nature,” Zelensky said.

According to him, this resembles Russia’s attacks on Ukraine, when the aggressor targets Ukraine’s power grid or water supply systems.

“Of course, all the experience Russia has obtained during the war against Ukraine is being shared with Iran. This was the case with ‘Shaheds’, the same drones the Russians have, only used under a different name and upgraded to newer generations,” the President noted.
