In an interview for Fox News, the Defence Minister of Ukraine, Oleksii Reznikov, says that Iranian military personnel are operating in occupied Crimea and Belarus. Iranians are using the territories as a base for attacking Ukraine with ‘kamikaze’ drones.

“I am sure that they have [Iranian military personnel base] also in Belarus because Iranian drones are used from two main directions: from the south (from the Crimea) and from the North (from Belarus). They use Belarus like their “platsdarm” (base - tr. note),” Reznikov said.

When asked whether he can confirm that the personnel of the Iranian army are present in both Crimea and Belarus, the Minister of Defense answered “According to our Intelligence, yes, it’s true.”

  • On October 25, the Belarusian Hajun project reported that Iranian drones may be being launched from the Belarusian territory of the Chernobyl zone.
