Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council (NSDC) Oleksiy Danilov in Iran honored the memory of Ukrainians who died in the crash of Boeing 737-800 aircraft of Ukraine International Airlines on January 8 this year, the NSDC press service reports.
"Oleksiy Danilov, together with Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Ukraine to the Islamic Republic of Iran Serhiy Burdyliak, laid flowers at the site of the Ukrainian aircraft crash. Also, 11 candles were lit in memory of the perished at the Holy Savior Cathedral," the statement reads.

On February 15-17, NSDC Secretary Danilov paid a working visit to the Islamic Republic of Iran at the invitation of Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council of Iran Ali Shamkhani to discuss the problematic issues of investigating the Ukrainian plane crash.

A Ukraine International Airlines plane (Flight PS752) heading from Tehran to Kyiv crashed shortly after taking off from the Imam Khomeini International Airport at about 06:00 Tehran time (04:30 Kyiv time) on Wednesday, January 8. There were 176 people on board – nine crew members (all Ukrainians) and 167 passengers (citizens of Ukraine, Iran, Canada, Sweden, Afghanistan, Germany, and the UK).

On January 11, Iran admitted that its military had accidentally shot down the Ukrainian passenger jet. Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) accepted full responsibility for the downing of the Ukrainian airliner.
