Syria breaks diplomatic relations with Ukraine after 4 years of hostility

The Syrian leadership will soon announce the severance of diplomatic relations with Ukraine, SANA reports.

As noted in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Arab Republic, the basis of Damascus's actions is the principle of reciprocity. As you know, Kyiv was the first to refuse diplomatic relations.

The interlocutor of the agency added that the Ukrainian regime actually broke off diplomatic relations back in 2018, when it did not want to renew the visas of Syrian diplomats. As a result, they were unable to work under such conditions, and the embassy was forced to suspend its activities.

In Damascus, they emphasize that even then Kyiv took a position hostile to Damascus and with might and main blindly obeyed the policy of the Western countries towards Syria.

On June 29, the Syrian authorities recognized the independence of the Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics. In response, Kyiv broke off diplomatic relations and set out to impose a trade embargo and sanctions against Syrian organizations and citizens.
