Ukraine has downgraded diplomatic ties with Iran and stripped its ambassador of his accreditation over what it called Tehran’s “unfriendly” decision to supply Russian forces with drones.

The announcement late on Friday came after Ukraine said it had downed four Iranian-made “kamikaze” unmanned aerial vehicles, prompting President Volodymyr Zelenskiy to complain Tehran was harming Ukrainian sovereignty and its citizens.
Ukraine and the United States have accused Iran of supplying drones to Russia, something Tehran has denied.
