We have been clear ... that we're prepared to deliver significant consequences,
As Allies have stated previously, any transfer of ballistic missiles and related technology by Iran to Russia would represent a substantial escalation,
I cannot confirm the reports that the transfer has happened,
We strongly reject allegations about Iran's role in sending weapons to one side of the war and we assess these allegations as politically motivated by some parties,
In response to the supply of ballistic missiles to Russia, Ukraine must be allowed to destroy warehouses storing these missiles with Western weapons in order to avoid terror,
Iran must completely and definitively stop providing weapons to Russia in order to prove with actions, not words, the sincerity of its political leadership's statements about non-involvement in fueling the Russian war machine of death,
The EU leaders’ unanimous position has always been clear. The European Union will respond swiftly and in coordination with international partners, including with new and significant restrictive measures against Iran,
Iran’s accusers are the ones who are among the biggest arms exporters to one side of the war,
We have seen this report, it is not every time that this kind of information is true,
Iran does not support any of the parties to the Ukraine-Russia conflict,
No missile was sent to Russia and this claim is a kind of psychological warfare."
Iran is our important partner, we are developing our trade and economic relations, we are developing our cooperation and dialogue in all possible areas, including the most sensitive ones,
We are aware of the credible information provided by allies on the delivery of Iranian ballistic missiles to Russia,
We are looking further into it with our member states and, if confirmed, this delivery would represent a substantive material escalation in Iran’s support for Russia’s illegal war of aggression against Ukraine,
A country that provides arms to terrorist organisations and terrorist states must be punished,
This type of information does not always correspond to reality.”
We sell weapons and receive dollars. We circumvent sanctions through our partnership with Russia. We import soybeans, corn, and other goods from Russia. Europeans sell arms to Ukraine. NATO has entered Ukraine, so why shouldn’t we support our ally by sending missiles and drones to Russia?"
It can't get any worse than it already is. We give missiles to Hezbollah, Hamas, and Hashd al-Shaab [Shiite militia in Iraq - ed.], so why not to Russia?"
After the explosions, after all the bombings, after drones, we have seen it all, we are not scared of anything anymore. And the most important thing is that people go to vote because we want peace, we want peace and quiet in the Kursk region,
It's not only been a boost in Ukrainian morale, it has exposed some of the vulnerabilities of Putin's Russia and of his military,
