Zelenskyy says Iran protests signal trouble for Russia

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on Tuesday that large-scale protests in Iran show that conditions will not get easier for Russia, calling the unrest a chance for change.

In a post on X, Zelenskyy said many people around the world want Iranians to free themselves from what he described as a regime that has brought harm to Ukraine and other countries.

He urged world leaders, governments and international organizations to act now to support the Iranian people and help remove those responsible for the country’s current state.

"Everything can be different," he wrote.
