According to several sources, Russia has been purchasing "kamikaze" drones from Iran since August to attack civilian and infrastructure targets in Ukraine, in violation of UN resolutions.

In response, the Secretary General of the United Nations, António Gutteres, has requested that experts visit Ukraine to investigate these allegations.

Dmitry Polanski, the deputy Russian Ambassador to the UN, has called on Gutteres to stop "these unlawful investigations", otherwise Russia will be forced "to reconsider its cooperation" with the United Nations.
