The statement of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine due to the supply of weapons by Iran to Russia for waging war against Ukraine:
The Iranian side was told that the supply of Iranian weapons to Russia contradicts the position of neutrality, respect for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine, publicly declared by the top leadership of Iran.
In response to such an unfriendly act, the Ukrainian side decided to deprive the ambassador of Iran in Ukraine of accreditation, as well as to significantly reduce the number of diplomatic personnel of the Iranian embassy in Kyiv.
