Ukraine, Iran ministers discuss efforts to keep tensions down
In more than 4-1/2 years of conflict with Russia, Ukraine has faced barrages of Iranian-designed drones.
NEW YORK: Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha met with his Iranian counterpart, Abbas Araqchi, at a side event of the UN General Assembly in New York. The discussion aimed to maintain a peaceful atmosphere, following a July telephone call between the two ministers after a Ukrainian drone strike on an Iranian vessel carrying military equipment to Russia.
This incident led to Iranian threats of retaliation. During the meeting, Sybiha emphasized the importance of open communication channels and reiterated Ukraine's stance in favor of restoring peace and stability in both Middle Eastern and European regions.
