Ukraine denied the claim about the deployment of thousands of UAVs in the Kurdistan region of Iraq The Embassy of Ukraine in Iraq rejected the claim made in the Iranian media regarding the deployment of a UAV unit and thousands of Ukrainian UAVs in the Kurdistan region of Iraq and called it "deliberately false information". The Embassy of Ukraine announced in a statement on Wednesday, October 21 (30 sq.): "Ukraine has not deployed UAVs, UAV units or related forces in the Kurdistan Region or any other part of Iraq." This reaction came after the "Tasnim" news agency yesterday, citing an anonymous security source, claimed that "Ukraine created a UAV unit and deployed thousands of UAVs in the Kurdistan region of Iraq." The Ukrainian embassy also emphasized Kyiv's full respect for Iraq's sovereignty and territorial integrity and called its relations with the federal government of Iraq and the Kurdistan government "friendly." The embassy asked the media to verify their veracity before publishing such claims and to refrain from republishing unconfirmed reports.
