Volodymyr Zelensky addressed the Haaretz Democracy Conference, organized by Haaretz — the oldest Israeli newspaper published since 1918: “The words “Iran” and “Iranian” have sounded increasingly often in the Headquarters of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief of Ukraine. It means what all Israelis know: mortal danger.”

Carriers of this mortal danger, Iranian-made kamikaze drones, are used by russia against Ukraine, destroying its infrastructure facilities and residential buildings, killing civilians every day.

According to President Zelensky, russia most likely has offered Iran assistance in the nuclear program in exchange for the drones. The established alliance of the two terrorist states could be countered with help from Israel in the form of air defense / missile defense systems, which Ukraine has been asking for since 2014. If this happened earlier, russia would have had no reason to turn to Iran for drones and missiles now, which means that the sense in such an alliance would have been ruined.
