Iran attacks Zelensky’s recent statements against it and considers it a political show and distortion of public opinion

The Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs described on Saturday the recent statements made by the Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky against Iran, as a projection aimed at diverting public opinion and a political show accompanied by baseless allegations.

Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Nasser Kanaani said, “Iran has always declared that it deeply regrets the pain and suffering of the people of Ukraine, and stresses the need to find a political solution to end the crisis as soon as possible, and it is ready to provide assistance to achieve this”.

Kanaani stressed that repeating the false allegations of the President of Ukraine against Iran is consistent with the propaganda and media war of the anti-Iranian axis against the government and people of Iran, and is carried out with the aim of obtaining the largest possible amount of weapons and financial aid from Western countries.

A spokesman for the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs confirmed that the allegations and political displays against Iran don’t change the facts of the crisis in Ukraine, pointing to Iran’s readiness to continue expert talks with Ukraine.

Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesman concluded his statements by saying, “The Ukrainian side’s avoidance of expert discussions with the Iranian side to discuss the allegations confirms the untruth of these allegations, and the existence of specific political goals and motives behind these accusations against the Islamic Republic of Iran”.

Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir Abdollahian has repeatedly stressed that Iran doesn’t provide military assistance to any party in the Ukrainian crisis”.

During his meeting in Tehran with Martin Griffiths, Deputy Secretary-General of the United Nations for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator, Abdollahian explained the principled positions of the Islamic Republic of Iran regarding the crisis between Russia and Ukraine.

He said, “Iran doesn’t provide military assistance to any side in the crisis, doesn’t consider war a solution, and supports national sovereignty and territorial integrity of all countries, including Ukraine”.

Russia and Iran have denied, more than once, Western allegations and reports, published by US media, about Tehran supplying Moscow with missiles and drones for use in Ukraine.

Iran has also confirmed, on more than one occasion, its willingness to mediate to resolve the crisis diplomatically.

Western countries, led by the United States and Britain, continue to provide massive financial and military assistance to Ukraine.

This has been since the launch of the Russian special military operation, on February 24, 2022, to protect the Donbas region from the oppression of the Kiev regime.

Russia sent, earlier, a protest note to the countries of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) because of the supply of weapons to Ukraine, stressing that any arms shipment destined for Ukraine will be considered by Moscow as a legitimate target.
