Ukraine has imposed 50 years of sanctions on Iran for aiding
Russia’s invasion with military equipment.
Ukraine’s parliament announced this in a Telegram post on
Tuesday.
The sanction includes a ban on exports of “military and
dual-use goods” to Iran and the “suspension of economic and financial
obligations in favour of residents of Iran.”
Also, the sanctions bar Iranian aircraft from flying through
Ukraine’s airspace and ban Iranian goods from transiting through Ukraine.
Russia has ramped up attacks on Ukraine’s capital Kyiv this
month with Iran-manufactured Shahid drones, destroying infrastructure and
civilian deaths.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky had on Wednesday
asked the Iranian people not to be “accomplices in Russian terror.”
He stated that his forces had shot down about 900 of more
than 1,160 drones used against Ukraine, figures that have likely risen during
Russia’s barrage of aerial attacks in the days since.
Iran has supplied Russia with military hardware, including
the Shahed loitering munition that Russia has launched at Ukraine by the
hundreds.
The U.S. and the EU have imposed sanctions against Iran for
supplying Russia with these drones.
