Ukrainian president calls Iran protests an ‘uprising’

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Monday called the ongoing protests in Iran an "uprising" and a sign that Russia will face greater difficulties.

“What is currently happening in Iran, including the widespread protests, is in fact an uprising, and it is also a clear sign that it will not be easier for Russia,” Zelenskyy posted in Persian on X.

“It is important that the world does not miss this moment, when change is possible. And every leader, every country, international organizations must now get involved and help the people eliminate those who are responsible, which unfortunately Iran has been in this way. Everything could be different," he added.
