“I hope that the Iranian side will fulfill what they promised at the level of the head of their state,” Zelensky said in an interview with The Globe and Mail.
He added that Kiev expects not only “black boxes”, but also “official apologies and proper compensation to families who have lost their loved ones.”
“Otherwise, we will have no choice but to turn to international courts. And they know our clear substantive position, ”the press service quoted him as saying.
Earlier, Deputy Foreign Minister of Ukraine Yevgeny Yenin admitted that it is possible to establish the truth around the situation with the downed Ukrainian Boeing in the region of Tehran without flight recorders that remain in Iran.
On January 8, a plane crash occurred in Tehran, which killed 176 people. Iran acknowledged that the Iranian air defense system erroneously shot down a passenger plane of Ukraine International Airlines, mistaking it for a cruise missile.
As Iranian leader Hassan Rouhani noted, the Iranian armed forces were put on full alert to protect themselves from possible attacks by the United States, "which, unfortunately, led to this terrible disaster."
