Ukraine’s foreign minister says he has proposed to President Volodymyr Zelenksyy that Kyiv formally break off diplomatic ties with Iran, after Moscow launched attacks using what Kyiv says are Iranian-made drones.
Russia launched dozens of “kamikaze” drones on targets in Ukraine on Monday, striking energy and civilian infrastructure and killing at least eight people.
Ukraine said the attacks were carried out with Iranian-made Shahed-136 drones. Tehran has denied supplying the drones.

Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba proposed on Tuesday to break off diplomatic relations with Tehran due to alleged supplies of Iranian weapons, including kamikaze drones, to Russia, which had resulted in severe damage to Ukrainian infrastructure.
"Given the massive destruction caused to Ukraine's civilian infrastructure by Iranian drones, deaths and suffering inflicted on our people, and also due to reports of the possible continuation of arms supplies from Iran to Russia, I am submitting a proposal to break off diplomatic relations with Iran for the president's consideration," Kuleba said during an online briefing.
The full restoration of relations with Tehran can only be discussed after the alleged supplies of weapons to Russia are stopped, the Ukrainian foreign minister added.
Meanwhile, Ukrainian lawmaker Oleksiy Goncharenko submitted to the country's parliament a resolution on severing diplomatic relations with Iran and recognizing it as a state sponsor of terrorism.
