As Kyiv accused Tehran of preparing to send more weapons to Russia, a senior Ukrainian presidential adviser called for the "liquidation" of Iranian factories producing drones and missiles as well as the arrest of their suppliers.

Mykhailo Podolyak, a presidential adviser from Ukraine, called for the destruction of Iranian military factories in a Saturday tweet in which he said Iran "blatantly humiliates the institution of international sanctions."

Podolyak’s statement comes days after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy visited Washington to solidify US military and economic support for his country.

Kyiv has accused Tehran of supplying 1700 Shahed-136 loitering munitions to Moscow, which it says have been used to hit targets in Ukraine since September. Iran denies the allegations.
