The United States announced new military aid for Ukraine on Friday and vowed to disrupt Russian ties with Iran, which a British envoy said involved Moscow seeking hundreds of ballistic missiles and offering unprecedented military support in return.

Tehran and Moscow have denied Western accusations that Russia is using Iranian drones to attack targets in Ukraine, where officials warned on Friday of a winter-long power deficit after repeated Russian attacks on its energy infrastructure.

Britain’s UN Ambassador Barbara Woodward said Iran had sent hundreds of drones that Russia had used in Ukraine. Russia has clamped down on dissent since it invaded Ukraine in February, and a Moscow court on Friday sentenced opposition politician Ilya Yashin to eight and a half years in prison on charges of spreading “false information” about the army.

“The situation on the front line remains very tough,” he said in an evening address. “I thank all our heroes, all soldiers and commanders who are … repelling assaults and inflicting significant losses on the enemy.”Putin earlier repeated an accusation that the West was “exploiting” Ukraine and using its people as “cannon fodder” in a conflict with Russia, and said the West’s desire to maintain its global dominance was increasing risks.

Putin, who was speaking in the Kyrgyz capital Bishkek, also said Russia – the world’s biggest exporter of energy – might cut its oil production and would refuse to sell oil to any country that imposed the West’s “stupid” price cap on Russian oil.
