Iran–Ukraine relations
Iran–Ukraine relations refer to the relations of the Islamic Republic of Iran and Ukraine. Prior to 2020, the relationship between the two countries was strong; Iran has an Embassy in Kyiv and Ukraine has an embassy in Tehran.[1][2] Iran had been attempting to strengthen relations in Europe including Ukraine. In 2010 Ukrainian ambassador Oleksandr Samarsky offered his diplomatic credentials to Iranian Foreign Minister, Manouchehr Mottaki, calling for the two countries to increase cooperation with each other. Mottaki agreed with the statement.[3] On 8 January 2020, the Iranian military accidentally shot down Ukraine International Airlines Flight 752, straining relations between the two countries.[4]
