Read our privacy policy British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said Monday that the West should work to degrade "Russia’s capability to regroup" as it continues its war of aggression in Ukraine, citing the drones that Iran has been providing to Moscow. Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy also spoke by video link of the Iranian Shahed drones that Russia has been using to attack Ukraine, saying 34 were used in the latest nighttime attacks. Sunak also said the economic consequences for Russia ”must continue to be severe.” Last week, the European Union approved a new package of sanctions aimed at ramping up pressure on Russia for its war in Ukraine.
