Syria breaks ties with Ukraine: Ministry

DAMASCUS, 21 July 2022, (TON): Syria announced Wednesday that it was severing ties with Ukraine in support of its close ally Russia, saying the move was a response to a similar move by Kyiv.

A foreign ministry official, who was not identified, told “the Syrian Arab Republic has decided to break diplomatic relations with Ukraine in conformity with the principle of reciprocity and in response to the decision of the Ukrainian government.”

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky already announced he was severing ties with Syria late last month after Syria recognized the Russian-backed breakaway republics of Donetsk and Lugansk in eastern Ukraine.

Zelensky said at the time “there will no longer be relations between Ukraine and Syria.”
