Iranian instructors who arrive in Ukraine to train the Russian military will be eliminated.

According to Ukrinform, Oleksiy Danilov, Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine, said this in an interview with the Voice of America.

"This [training by Iranian instructors of the Russian military] took place at different points. I would like to note that when a certain type of weaponry is provided, we know from our own experience that training must be carried out. Moreover, training is conducted by those who supply these weapons, and by companies that supply them. But if the training of our boys takes place outside our country, then the training for these drones took place in our country, in captured Crimea, in parts of the captured territory of our regions. This applies directly to the Kherson region," Danilov said.

In this regard, he warned Iranian instructors about the danger of being destroyed on Ukrainian territory.

"What we can say for sure is that some of them [instructors] will no longer go home in the form in which they arrived. This can be confirmed by our intelligence, this can be confirmed by our professionals who directly dealt with this issue. Today, I would not advise any representative of another country to go to our territory to fight on the side of the Russian Federation. The danger of being destroyed on our territory will be extremely great for you," Danilov said.

Iranian instructors are helping the Russian invaders launch kamikaze drones from Crimean training grounds and the Kherson region.
