Ukrainian President's Statement
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has responded to the European Union's decision to designate Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a terrorist organization. He pointed out that Ukraine had already made that determination previously, and for his country, the matter is considered settled.
Zelenskyy emphasized Ukraine's support for peoples who value freedom and are prepared to fight for it. In his remarks, he highlighted that the world is witnessing the violence perpetrated by the Iranian regime and the number of killings occurring in Iran.
“We see how others in Europe have finally listened on the issue of Iran and us, Ukraine, and those Europeans who called for greater activity, for greater principle, and the Iranians themselves,” the president said.
He added that all terrorists in the world deserve equal treatment and condemnation.
“None should win,” Zelenskyy stressed, underscoring the importance of a collective fight against terrorism.
It is worth noting that Iran's President, Masoud Pezeshkian, has reportedly ordered the start of negotiations with the United States regarding the Iranian nuclear program. This step could influence international politics and relations between countries.
International Relations and Military Actions
Recall that U.S. President Donald Trump previously instructed his team to develop options for a military operation against Iran, indicating growing tension in the region. The publication date for the tweet concerning these events is February 2, 2026.
The terrorist designation of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps may impact international relations and lead to increased sanctions against Iran. This decision reflects the international community's growing concern over the activities of the Iranian regime, which could, in turn, intensify diplomatic efforts aimed at resolving the conflict. The evolving situation requires careful observation, as it could significantly affect regional security and global political trends. The EU's move aligns Ukraine's earlier stance more closely with that of its Western partners.
