“There is no reason not to believe the data that we received from different countries - NATO allies. They expressed concern about information indicating that the plane could have been shot down by Iranian air defense systems, ”he said.
Earlier, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced the availability of intelligence data indicating that the plane was shot down by an Iranian missile.
Iran called such data irrational, refuting reports that rocket fragments were allegedly found near the site of the tragedy.
According to the Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky, the version of a missile hit is not excluded, but is not confirmed.
The Russian Foreign Ministry urged not to make loud statements about the crash of the Ukrainian plane in Iran and to let experts analyze the situation.
