Aid for Russia from Iran
Iran is an ally of Russia in the full-scale war against Ukraine.
In particular, Tehran has provided the Russian forces with a large number of Shahed kamikaze drones, which Russia uses daily to terrorize the Ukrainian civilian population.
Recently, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy also stated that Iran is holding "intensive negotiations" with Russia regarding the transfer of ballistic missiles.
