Ukraine’s Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha tells his Israeli counterpart, Gideon Sa’ar, that Kyiv will list Iran’s powerful Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps as a terrorist organization, says Sa’ar’s office.
The two spoke by phone last week about Iran.
Last week, the European Union decided to designate the IRGC as a terror group.
The decision is not yet finalized, Ukraine’s embassy tells The Times of Israel, but Kyiv is highly likely to follow Europe’s lead.
