The Kremlin says Russian President Vladimir Putin held talks with his Iranian counterpart Ebrahim Raisi.
“The leaders discussed a number of current issues on the bilateral agenda with an emphasis on the continued building up of interaction in politics, trade, and the economy, including transport and logistics,” the Kremlin said in a statement.
The leaders agreed that the contacts between Russian and Iranian institutions will be increased, it added.
Kyiv and its Western allies have accused Moscow of using Iranian-made drones in recent weeks to carry out attacks in Ukraine, where it launched a “special military operation” in February.
