military facilities in the Middle East and the Gulf region were photographed by Russian satellites in the interests of Iran.

”Zelenskyy accuses RussiaIn the tweet, Zelenskyy added that earlier this week, on 24 March, the Russian satellites imaged the US-UK joint military facility on Diego Garcia, a remote island in the Indian Ocean.

He went on to accuse Russia of capturing pictures of Kuwait International Airport and parts of the infrastructure of the Greater Burgan oil field. According to him, on 25 March, the Russian agency took pictures of the Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia.

The Shaybah oil and gas field in Saudi Arabia, İncirlik Air Base in Türkiye, and Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar were all imaged on March 26th. The Kremlin has rejected all allegations levelled by the Ukrainian President.
