Kuleba stated this during a briefing on October 18, RBC-Ukraine reports.

"Taking into account the numerous destructions caused by Iranian drones to the civilian infrastructure of Ukraine, the deaths and sufferings caused to our people, as well as in connection with the reports about the possible continuation of Iran's supply of weapons to Russia, I submit to the consideration of the president a proposal to sever diplomatic relations with Iran," Kuleba said. 

He added that it will be possible to talk about the restoration of diplomatic relations only after Iran stops supplying Russia with weapons.

"After Iran became a participant in the crime of aggression, today we will take a very clear and honest position. If Iran stops supplying Russia with weapons, we will talk about restoring relations," Kuleba emphasized.
