Iraq’s national security adviser, Qasim al-Aboudi, has told Dijlah TV that new information points to “Ukrainian interference in Iraq”, with “cells belonging to Ukraine” carrying out bombings against Iraqi government facilities.
He told the Arabic-language network that further investigation was needed “before we can level an accusation at this side or that”.
“But we arrested a small group of people, who confessed that they were working for Ukraine,” al-Aboudi said. “They targeted some Iraqi government facilities with bombing.”
He did not elaborate further.
There was no immediate comment from Ukraine.
