UNITED NATIONS, October 20. /TASS/. Western claims of Iran’s drone exports to Russia are nothing but a yet another example of disinformation, Russian First Deputy Permanent Representative to the UN Dmitry Polyansky told reporters.

"We've observed another round of the disinformation campaign <…> by the Western delegations, as they raised in the Council the issue of the UAVs allegedly used by Russia in Ukraine," the diplomat said after closed UN Security Council consultations on the matter.

"The aim of our Western colleagues is clear: they attempt to hit two targets at once, inventing an artificial pretext to put pressure on Russia and on Iran," he added.
