Zelensky condemns attack on Israel: Ukraine also knows the horror of Iranian terror drones

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky condemns Iran’s attack on Israel and says his nation understands the “horror” of Iranian drones, also used by Russia in its invasion.

“Ukraine condemns Iran’s attack on Israel using ‘Shahed’ drones and missiles. We in Ukraine know very well the horror of similar attacks by Russia, which uses the same ‘Shahed’ drones and Russian missiles, the same tactics of mass air strikes,” Zelensky writes on X.

“Every effort must be made to prevent a further escalation in the Middle East. Iran’s actions threaten the entire region and the world, just as Russia’s actions threaten a larger conflict, and the obvious collaboration between the two regimes in spreading terror must face a resolute and united response from the world,” he writes.

“The sound of ‘Shahed’ drones, a tool of terror, is the same in the skies over the Middle East and Europe. This sound must serve as a wake-up call to the free world, demonstrating that only our unity and resoluteness can save lives and prevent the spread of terror worldwide,” the Ukrainian leader says.

Zelensky says that “words do not stop drones and do not intercept missiles,” renewing his call for assistance.

“It is critical that the United States Congress make the necessary decisions to strengthen America’s allies at this critical time,” he says.
