Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has put forward a bill that would see Ukraine impose sanctions on Russian ally Iran for 50 years, Zelenskyy’s chief of staff Andriy Yermak said on Sunday, May 28, a response to what Kyiv says is Tehran’s weapons supplies to Moscow.
Kyiv and its allies say Iran has been supplying Russia with arms, including hundreds of drones, since Moscow invaded Ukraine last year. Tehran rejects the allegations. If passed by Ukraine’s parliament, the bill would stop the transit of Iranian goods through Ukraine and the use of its airspace, as well as impose trade, financial and technology sanctions against Iran and its citizens.
