Reaction
The Ukrainian Ambassador to South Africa, Oleksandr Shcherba, sent a reply in which he recalled that Iranian leaders had stained their hands with the blood of thousands of Ukrainian citizens — men and women, children and the elderly — killed with the help of the infamous Iranian Shahed drones and other military technology that Iran supplied to Russia.
"Your leaders were complicit in the endless suffering endured by Ukrainian civilians. ... Mr. Ambassador, I do not know you and I have no personal animosity toward you. Sometimes, good diplomats have to represent bad leaders and their policies. But I hope you understand that I will not express grief for people whose deaths do not cause me grief," the diplomat said.
