TEHRAN, May 28 (NNN-IRNA) – The Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman, yesterday rejected as “baseless,” the Ukrainian president’s claims about Iran supplying Russia with drones for use against Ukraine.

Kanaani reiterated Iran’s opposition to the Russia-Ukraine conflict, and is very sorry about the Ukrainian people’s pain and suffering, adding, Iran stays ready to provide assistance to the finding of a political solution, to end the crisis at the earliest possible time.
He stressed that, the Ukrainian president’s repeated “baseless” claims is in collusion with the West’s anti-Iran “propaganda and media war,” and is aimed at attracting further financial and arms supports from Western states.
He stressed Iran’s readiness to continue expert-level negotiation with Ukraine, on solving relevant dispute, however, the Ukrainian side has refrained from holding further talks, which proved the “baselessness” of its claims and “political objectives and motives” behind its anti-Tehran accusations.– NNN-IRNA
