Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi sharply criticised Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, accusing him of using American and European taxpayer funds for personal gain and to benefit his “corrupt generals.”

In a social media post on X, Aragchi accused Zelenskyy of exploiting American and European taxpayers to enrich his corrupt military leaders, while resisting what he describes as illegal aggression in breach of the UN Charter, Caliber.Az reports.

He added that, simultaneously, Zelenskyy brazenly advocates for illegal US actions against Iran, in breach of the same UN Charter.

“The world has had enough of Confused Clowns, Mr. Zelensky. Unlike your foreign-backed and mercenary-infested military, we Iranians know how to defend ourselves and have no need to beg foreigners for help,” Araghchi wrote.
