Ukraine is pressing Iran to send the so-called black box recorders from the Boeing Co. plane that crashed after taking off from Tehran last month, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Vadym Prystaiko said.
“The black box and cooperation with Tehran was the very difficult issue from the beginning and we will try to keep the message” focused on recovering the data, Prystaiko told the Foreign Press Association in Rome on Monday.
