TEHRAN– The Iranian Foreign Ministry has firmly rejected allegations that an Iranian military official is currently in Ukraine to train Russian forces, labeling the claims as completely unfounded.

Speaking on the matter, foreign ministry spokesman Nasser Kanaani reiterated Iran’s consistent stance against war, emphasizing the nation's commitment to peaceful conflict resolution. 

He underscored that the Islamic Republic of Iran has always advocated for the cessation of hostilities between Russia and Ukraine, urging both sides to seek diplomatic solutions to their differences.

Kanaani also criticized the accusations, suggesting they were driven by specific political agendas aimed at misrepresenting Iran's position on the conflict. 

He pointed out the contradictions in such claims, asserting that they are part of broader efforts to undermine Iran's principled opposition to the ongoing war.

His remarks came after Ukraine's prosecutor general said a case has been opened against a general of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) on suspicion of aiding Russia in war and war crimes against Ukraine.

Andriy Kostin alleged that the investigation revealed that between July and August 2022, Russian military representatives reached an agreement with Iran on the purchase of Shahed-136 and Mohajer-6 attack drones, along with related equipment.

Iran has repeatedly and categorically refuted the accusation of involvement in the military conflict between Russia and Ukraine.
