Today, intelligence does not see Iranian ballistic missiles in Russia.


Russia has received a new batch of Shahed attack drones from Iran.

"This is a new lot. We are not commenting on the number now," Andriy Yusov, a spokesman for the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, said on the air of the All-Ukrainian telethon, noting that Shahed drones were not used during Russia's attack yesterday.

"This is a new lot, but it is obviously smaller than the previous ones," Yusov added.

Answering the question of whether Russia received ballistic missiles from Iran, Yusov said that he was aware of the preliminary agreements and "the huge efforts that the Russians are making to obtain such missiles."

"As of today, we have not seen Iranian ballistic missiles from Russia for use in Ukraine. But such a possibility exists," the intelligence official stressed.
