Ukraine claims evidence of Russia–Iran cooperation

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says Kyiv has ‘irrefutable evidence’ of ongoing intelligence cooperation between Russia and Iran.

After a meeting with military intelligence officials, he said Moscow was using its own signals and electronic intelligence capabilities while also drawing on data obtained through partners in the Middle East.

The Kremlin dismissed a report by The Wall Street Journal that Russia is providing Iran with satellite imagery and advanced drone technology, describing the claims as false.

Zelenskyy suggested otherwise, pointing to continued cooperation between Moscow and Tehran that could have wider security implications.
