[Korrespondent] 22.23 President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy commented on the possibility of lifting US sanctions against Russia.
"As for the specifics, the dialogue between Russia and the United States, we know that Russia is holding dialogues with representatives of the United States of America regarding the possible lifting of sanctions. We strongly believe that the United States will not make such concessions," the head of state said.
According to him, if sanctions against the Russian Federation are lifted, "it will certainly be a serious blow: for us it will be a blow in terms of weapons, and for the whole world it will be a reputational blow, very complex, very serious."
"How can you lift sanctions on Russia? If it is an aggressor, then it can be done this way, and not only to them. In principle, this is not a very positive example for others," the Ukrainian leader said.
21.51 The Security Service reported in absentia the suspicion to the head of the Aerospace Forces of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, Brigadier General Abdollah Mehrabi, who supplied engines to Russia for the production of Shaheds.
Mehrabi is one of the leaders of Iran's missile program and co-owner of Oje Parvaz Mado Nafar Company (Mado), which produces engines for the Shahed-136 UAV, which are critical elements for ensuring the drones' range and autonomy.
The military-technical alliance between the Russian Federation and its ally provided for the use of Iranian technologies in the Russian defense industry, large-scale supplies of equipment and components, as well as significant financing, including payment in gold.
In January 2023, Mehrabi, along with other Iranian representatives, visited the city of Yelabuga (Republic of Tatarstan, Russian Federation), where a new production site was established. On the basis of the Alabuga special economic zone, mass production of attack drones was organized.
The suspect is also involved in the training of Russian engineers and military personnel, in particular, organizing crew training in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine - in Crimea and the Kherson region.
As a result of this cooperation, in 2023-2024, the Russian Federation received more than 13,000 Geran-2 UAVs (the Russian name for the Iranian Shahed-136), as well as components and equipment worth a total of more than $324 million. These UAVs were later transferred to the Russian army and used for strikes on the territory of Ukraine.

We see what challenges there are now due to strikes from Iran - due to this whole war, which may drag on. In fact, the Iranian regime has blocked the Strait of Hormuz, and this is one of the main routes for supplying oil and gas to the world market. This is significant destabilization," the head of state said.

On June 18, 2025, as part of an assault group of Russian troops, he attacked the positions of the Defense Forces near the village of Myropylya in Sumy Oblast. During the battle, a Ukrainian border guard was captured by the occupiers, who were first interrogated by the "Buryats" together with another Russian, and then shot with service weapons.
