Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office written question – answered at on 24 November 2022.
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what steps the Government has taken to help prevent Iranian drones being used by Russian forces in Ukraine.
The UK condemns Iranian support for the Russian invasion of Ukraine and has made this clear to Iran including when the Foreign Secretary summoned the Iranian chargé d'affaires to the FCDO on 3 October. Iran's supply of drones to Russia is in violation of UN Security Council Resolution 2231. The UK, alongside France and Germany, raised this in a letter to the UN Secretary General where we supported the Ukrainian call for an investigation into Iran's supply of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to Russia. On 20 October new UK sanctions targeted Iranian individuals and businesses responsible for supplying Russia with drones. We will continue to work with the international community to hold Iran and Russia to account.
