"We expect that the next multilateral meeting (between Iran and five countries whose citizens died) will take place before the end of this year, and a bilateral meeting between Ukraine and Iran will take place in mid-October. We have a serious and powerful delegation, which will consist of representatives of the aviation authorities, military, law enforcement agencies, employees of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Justice with one simple demand, with the question that Iran should explain to us in detail what happened then and who is responsible for it," Zolotariova said at the online roundtable on Sept 30.
