 Ukrainian official urges liquidation of Iranian drone factories. Ukrainian presidential aide Mikhail Padalyak has called for the destruction of Iranian factories making drones and missiles, as well as the arrest of their suppliers. Writing on Twitter on December 24, Padalyak said that Iran blatantly humiliates institutions of international sanctions, and called for the liquidation of its weapons factories in response. Kiev has repeatedly accused Iran of supplying Russia with 1700 Shahid 136 loitering munitions used in attacks on Ukraine's civilian infrastructure. In his historic address to the Congress last week, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said that Iran was a partner in Moscow's genocidal policy by supplying it with drones. As a reference to the Iran-Russia military partnership, Zelensky also said that is how one terrorist has found the other. Iran has acknowledged supplying drones to Russia, but said that it stopped these supplies since the start of the war in Ukraine in February.
