According to a report by CBS News on March 14, 2026, Volodymyr Zelenskyy revealed in an upcoming interview with CNN that Russia has provided drones to Iran, suggesting a deeper level of cooperation between the two countries than previously acknowledged.
Speaking ahead of the interview’s broadcast, the Ukrainian president said the support from Moscow to Tehran appears to go beyond standard diplomatic relations. According to Zelenskyy, Russia has not only transferred drone technology but is also sharing intelligence with Iranian authorities, strengthening military coordination between the two governments.
He compared the intelligence cooperation to the kind of information-sharing arrangements that exist among Western allies. Zelenskyy noted that just as European nations exchange intelligence with the United States during periods of conflict, Russia appears to be providing similar support to Iran in the current geopolitical environment.
