Zelensky: Iran sanctions for 50 years

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has introduced a bill to impose sanctions for 50 years on Russia's ally Iran, Zelensky's chief of staff, Andriy Yermak, said in response to what Kiev says are Tehran's arms supplies to Moscow. Kiev and its allies say Iran has supplied weapons to Russia, including hundreds of drones, since Moscow invaded Ukraine last year. Tehran rejects the accusations. If approved by the Ukrainian Parliament, the bill would block the transit of Iranian goods through Ukraine and the use of its airspace, as well as impose commercial, financial and technological sanctions against Iran and its citizens.
