Russia used Iranian drones and missiles in attack: Ukrainian PM

 The Prime Minister of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, has accused that "on Monday, Iran's drones and missiles were used in Russia's attack on his country."

According to the American news agency AP, Volodymyr Zelensky says that "Russia has targeted the energy infrastructure of many citizens of Ukraine through heavy bombing."

In his video message posted on Facebook, the Prime Minister of Ukraine said, "This morning was difficult, we are fighting terrorists."

"Russia hit targets through dozens of Iran's 'Shahid' drones."

He alleged that Russia targeted Ukraine's energy infrastructure during the attacks to spread fear among the public.

"They want to destroy our energy system, they are incorrigible."

Russia launched multiple airstrikes on several Ukrainian cities on Monday morning, killing civilians, in retaliation for the destruction of the bridge.

On Saturday, there were explosions on the bridge connecting Russia to Crimea and oil tankers were on fire.

On Sunday, Russian President Vladimir Putin called the incident "terrorism" and blamed Ukraine for it and announced retaliation.

President Vladimir Putin's video statement was quoted as saying, "There is no doubt, this was a terrorist act aimed at destroying the infrastructure for the convenience of the common people."

According to the Russian President, "Ukrainian authorities ordered it, after which the bridge was targeted."

Vladimir Putin also said that he will also preside over the meeting of the country's security council today, in which special consultations will be held on the incident.

On the other hand, the Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council, Dmitry Medvedev, said that "those responsible for this act of terrorism" will be killed before the meeting on Monday.

Later, Russia launched numerous missiles on the capital of Ukraine, Kiev, in what was described as the biggest attack of the war so far.

Similarly, explosions were heard in the cities of Lyiv, Ternopil and Zhytomyr in the western part, while the eastern cities of Dnipro, Kreminchuk, Zaporizhzhya and Kharkiv were also attacked.
