"Ukraine has not forgotten any of the thousands of Shaheds that attack our cities and villages, our people," President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Feb. 2.
Ukraine has designated Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a terrorist organization, President Volodymyr Zelensky announced in his evening address on Feb. 2.
The move brings Kyiv in alignment with the European Union, which labeled the IRGC a terrorist group on Jan. 29, in addition to imposing a new raft of sanctions against Iran.
"(T)he European Union has agreed to designate one of the main organizations of the regime in Iran, the so-called Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, as a terrorist organization," Zelensky said in his video address.
"European procedures are currently underway. We in Ukraine have already made this decision and have already designated this organization as terrorist, and for us this issue is closed."
