Lavrov said there was no evidence of deliveries of Iranian drones to Russia

Western countries claim that Russia allegedly receives Iranian drones, but they cannot and do not try to provide facts. Such a statement done Foreign Minister of the Russian Federation Sergey Lavrov in an interview with RIA Novosti.

“Westerners started a fuss in the UN Security Council in connection with the alleged deliveries of Iranian “drones” to Russia. As usual, everything is in the style of highly likely (translated from English as “very likely” – Approx. “Vedomosti”). They can’t bring facts, and they don’t try, ”Lavrov said.

In December, about the lack of documented evidence from the Ukrainian authorities of alleged deliveries of Iranian drones to Russia said Permanent Representative of the Russian Federation to the UN Vasily Nebenzya. He noted that Kyiv did not provide Tehran with documents on the use of Iranian UAVs by the Russian military. The permanent representative called the accusations against the Russian Federation far-fetched and called on the UN Secretariat not to succumb to pressure from the West.

Russian and Iranian authorities have repeatedly denied reports of alleged deliveries of Iranian-made drones to Russia for use in the course of a special operation. The Washington Post wrote about it in August. Press Secretary of the President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Peskov, commenting on the publication, called it “information stuffing.”

On October 17, the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry accused Iran of supplying weapons to Russia, including drones that are allegedly used during a special operation in Ukraine. in response to Peskov declaredthat in the course of the NWO, Russia uses only Russian equipment, which has a Russian name.

On October 20, the EU imposed sanctions for possible deliveries of Iranian drones against weapons manufacturer Shahed Aviation Industries and three generals from the republic. The Russian Foreign Ministry called the accusations “far-fetched.”

At the end of December, the Iranian Foreign Ministry again emphasizedthat the republic does not take part in the conflict, and also rejected Kyiv’s accusations of supplying Iranian-made weapons to Russia. The diplomatic mission added that they were ready to help establish peace in Ukraine.
