That’s all for this evening, thanks for following along, we are now closing the blog for today.
You can view all of our latest coverage of the war in Ukraine here.
Iran and Russia are looking to build a factory in Russia that could supply more than 6,000 Iranian-designed drones for the war in Ukraine, according to reports.
The Wall Street Journal says the two governments are moving ahead with plans, and that an Iranian delegation went to Russia in January to visit the planned site.
There has been controversy over Iran supplying drones, which have wreaked havoc on Ukrainian civilian areas and infrastructure since the war began.
Iran initially said it had supplied drones to Russia but that they were sent before the war broke out. However, evidence from Ukraine suggested that more and more have been supplied as the conflict continues.
