Ukraine issues statement on Iran's missile attack on Israel

Yesterday, Iran launched a missile attack against Israel. Ukraine strongly condemns these attacks, as civilians should never be the target of deadly attacks.

This was reported by RBC-Ukraine with reference to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine.

“The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine strongly condemns the massive Iranian missile attack against Israel on the evening of October 1, 2024... We once again call on all parties to the Middle East conflict to prevent the conflict from escalating into a large-scale war, the consequences of which will be catastrophic not only for people in the region but for the whole world,” the ministry said.

At the same time, the Foreign Ministry noted that Ukraine, which has been resisting unprovoked armed aggression for more than two and a half years, is confronting not only the aggressor state of Russia, but also its allies, including Iran, which supplies the Russian regime with weapons for the war against Ukraine.

“We condemn the actions of the Iranian regime that destabilize two regions at once: Europe and the Middle East. We support the operational actions of Israel's allies and partners who have taken preventive measures to minimize the negative consequences of Iranian rocket attacks on Israeli territory,” the ministry added.
