The Ukrainian parliament has approved a sanctions package against Iran, a Russian ally it accuses of sending weapons to Moscow during its more than year-long invasion of Ukraine.
The measures were approved on Monday, a day after Ukraine said confirmed for the first time that it had sold drones to Russia but said this was “months” before the start of the war in Ukraine in February 2022.
Ukraine said on Sunday that Moscow had staged the largest drone attack to date on Ukraine overnight, using 54 Iranian-made drones. It said 52 of them were shot down.
