Ukraine’s International Ministry cheered the US strikes towards Iran, and backed President Trump’s assertion that Tehran can’t be permitted to acquire nuclear weapons.
In the meantime, former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev blasted the transfer and starkly warned that “countries are ready to directly supply Iran with their own nuclear warheads,” whereas chiding that Trump can kiss his goals of a Nobel Peace Prize goodbye.
“As early as this spring, the United States warned Iran of the consequences in the absence of constructive steps,” Ukraine’s International Ministry stated in a press release.
“Iran is complicit in the crime of aggression against Ukraine. The Iranian regime is providing military assistance to Russia, including the supply of UAVs [unmanned aerial vehicles] and technologies that Russia consistently uses to kill people and destroy critical infrastructure.”
All through the battle, Russia has turned to Iran and North Korea for sources to help in its bloody invasion of neighboring Ukraine. Iran has provided the Russians with important drone know-how.
Ukraine had as soon as been in possession of the world’s third-largest stockpile of nuclear weapons in the course of the collapse of the Soviet Union. It relinquished these nukes as a part of the 1994 Budapest Memorandum in alternate for safety ensures from the US, Russia and the UK.
“We are convinced that the measures taken by the United States and Israel against Iranian nuclear facilities have sent a clear message to the Iranian regime — a message that the continuation of policies aimed at destabilizing regional security is unacceptable,” Kyiv added in a press release.
“As for Iran’s future, we firmly believe that the Iranian people — with their proud, millennia-old history –deserve a dignified, free, and happy life in peace and mutual understanding with Israel and all other nations of the world.”
Russia roundly condemned the strikes, with Medvedev being among the many most forceful.
“A number of countries are ready to directly supply Iran with their own nuclear warheads,” Medvedev put in an ominous X put up. “At this rate, Trump can forget about the Nobel Peace Prize — not even with how rigged it has become. What a way to kick things off, Mr. President.”
There are not less than eight nations believed to have nukes: China, India, France, North Korea, Pakistan, Russia, the UK and the US. Israel has been coy about whether or not it posses them.
Vice President JD Vance rebuked Medvedev’s obvious menace.
“First of all, I think it’s a bizarre response, but I also don’t know that that guy speaks for President Putin or for the Russian government,” Vance shot again. “[Russia has] been very consistent that they don’t want Iran to get a nuclear weapon.”
“I’ll let President [Vladimir] Putin speak to what the official Russian position on this is.”
Medvedev served as Russia’s president from 2008 to 2012 and is usually seen as a detailed ally of Russian tyrant Vladimir Putin. At the moment, he serves because the deputy chairman of the Safety Council of the Russian Federation.
