President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen: Hundreds of Iranian-made drones are being used by Russia on the battlefields in Ukraine.

The President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, revealed the European Union’s intention to impose sanctions on Iran, related to its support for Russia’s war in Ukraine.

Von der Leyen announced, on Wednesday, during the plenary session of the European Parliament in Strasbourg, that “there are hundreds of Iranian-made drones that Russia is using on the battlefields in Ukraine.”For this reason, she explained, “and for the first time, we also propose imposing sanctions on Iranian organizations, including those associated with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.”

On Tuesday, US defense officials sought to dispel any suspicion that Iran was supplying drones to Russia in its war in Ukraine, releasing images and analysis of such drones circulating in the conflict to prove Tehran’s involvement.

During a press briefing in London, analysts from the Defense Intelligence Agency showed pictures of Iranian drones that attacked Ukraine.

A comparison of design details such as tail fins and landing gear showed that the weapons used in Ukraine were “indistinguishable” from the attack drones (Shahed 131), (Shahed 136) and Mohajer 6 used in the Middle East.

Earlier, the Kremlin spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, stressed that the Russian army uses the produced drones.
