Ukraine can decide to sever diplomatic relations with Iran at any time – everything will depend on Tehran’s behavior, says the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, Dmytro Kuleba in an interview with BBC, APA reports.

He said he did not know who was behind the explosions at Iranian factories in late January. The head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs noted that Ukraine has historically done nothing wrong to Iran. Instead, the country began supplying the Russian Federation with kamikaze drones for aggression against Ukraine. Kuleba stressed that Iran crossed the line.

Kuleba also added that he submitted to President Volodymyr Zelensky a proposal to sever diplomatic relations with Iran. According to him, this question is completely open.

"This is our signal to Iran – no matter how beneficial it seems to you to cooperate with Russia against Ukraine, we assure you that the negative consequences of this cooperation will many times exceed any benefit. Then it is up to Iran to decide how to act, – the minister said.

Kuleba also added that he submitted to President Volodymyr Zelensky a proposal to sever diplomatic relations with Iran. According to him, this question is completely open.

"The decision can be taken at any moment depending on the further behavior of Iran, – he added.
