Zelenskyy Demands Justice in Iran

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy of Ukraine has called for the Iranian people to be given the opportunity to overthrow their government, which he labeled as a “terrorist regime.” This statement was part of a broader address focusing on international security and Ukraine’s ongoing conflict with Russia. Zelenskyy linked Iran directly to Russia’s military actions by accusing it of supplying attack drones and other weapons used against Ukrainian civilians.

In his address, Zelenskyy highlighted the dire consequences of Iranian support for Russia, stating that over 57,000 Iranian-made drones have been used in attacks on Ukraine. The Ukrainian leader emphasized the need for a global response to ensure security for nations affected by Iranian-backed terrorism. He expressed hope that American leadership and resolve would help diminish the power of what he termed “global criminals,” leading to a safer and more stable Middle East.

The speech also covered Zelenskyy’s recent engagements with international partners, including a meeting with representatives from the Netherlands, a key supporter of Ukraine’s defense efforts. He thanked the Dutch government for its continued support and discussed ongoing collaboration in air defense and other security measures. The president reiterated Ukraine’s commitment to fostering relationships with European partners and the broader international community to enhance protection and ensure peace and safety for its people.
