Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba on Monday called for EU sanctions on Iran, a few hours after Kyiv was hit by swarms of kamikaze drones, leaving at least three dead.

Kuleba said on Twitter he "requested more air defense and supply of ammunition (and) called on (the) EU to impose sanctions on Iran for providing Russia with drones", referring to the Iranian drones Russia has been using in Ukraine.

I'm probably the first foreign minister to address EU FAC from a bomb shelter because of the air raids siren. Requested more air defense & supply of ammo. Called on EU to impose sanctions on Iran for providing Russia with drones. 9th EU sanctions package on Russia must be strong. pic.twitter.com/NQZLKf6xwm
