Russia is supplying Iran with Shahed drones to use against the U.S. ​and Israel, Ukrainian President Volodymyr ‌Zelenskiy told CNN in an interview excerpt aired on Saturday.

Zelenskiy told CNN’s Fareed ​Zakaria that it is “100% facts” ​that Iran has used Russian-made Shaheds ⁠to attack U.S. bases.

Iran pioneered the Shahed drone, ​a much cheaper alternative to expensive ​missiles. They first saw mass use in Russia’s ‌invasion ⁠of Ukraine, where thousands of them have been launched by Russian forces since fall 2022, according to the Ukrainians.

    Not really, considering the US could help Ukraine massively and refuses to do so. And meanwhile Russia is unable to do much more than send a bit of intel and some drones.

      You’re just shit talking Russia, which is fine, but that doesn’t change that their support of the victim of aggression (Iran) is there same type of support that the US does to Ukraine.

      Zelenski standing up for the aggressor and making Ukraine a target of Iran just to please Israel is the real story no liberal is willing to discuss.
