The current conflict around Ukraine is related to the US policy of creating crises in the world, Iranian spiritual leader Ali Khamenei said on Tuesday.
"If they (US - TASS) can't create a crisis, then the weapons companies can't operate at maximum capacity. They need to create crises in order to secure the interests of this mafia," he said. - "Today Ukraine has become a victim of this policy". The politician's speech was broadcast by Iranian state television.
As the country's leader added, the US "brought Ukraine to this." Khamenei stressed that Iran, "of course, is against war and destruction anywhere in the world".
On February 24, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that in response to an appeal by the leaders of the Donbass republics, he decided to conduct a special military operation. The Russian leader stressed that Moscow's plans do not include the occupation of Ukrainian territories. The Russian Defense Ministry reported that the Russian military is not striking Ukrainian cities, and military infrastructure is being taken out of action with high-precision weapons. Civilians are not threatened, the ministry assured.
