Iran urges Ukraine to abandon groundless accusations against Tehran

Iran has once again rejected Ukraine's repetitive and groundless accusations that it provides Russia with weapons.

This comes after Ukraine's Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said he had asked Tehran to "cease the flow of weapons to Russia."

"Emotionally-charged claims and non-evidentiary accusations do not help resolve Ukraine's crisis," Iranian Foreign Ministry's Spokesman Nasser Kan'ani said Thursday.

Kan'ani repeated Iran's position of "active neutrality" concerning the ongoing war in Ukraine, urging Kiev to stop its "blame game."

Instead, Kan'ani said, Ukrainian officials should heed Tehran's "constructive proposal" for bilateral technical meetings, where they could provide whatever evidence they might have about their allegations.

The official, meanwhile, reminded that the Islamic Republic had, since the onset of the conflict in Ukraine, been exerting diplomatic efforts aimed at finding a peaceful solution to the crisis.

Both Iran and Russia have repeatedly denied claims made by Kiev and its Western allies that Tehran has provided Moscow with drones to be used in the war in Ukraine.
