Syria formally breaks diplomatic ties with Ukraine
Fox News
Syria, a strong ally of Russian, has announced it will be formally breaking diplomatic ties with Ukraine in response to a similar move by Kyiv in recent months.
In late June, Damascus said it would recognize the "independence and sovereignty" of Ukraine’s Russia-backed eastern Luhansk and Donetsk regions, becoming the first country to recognize the two breakaway states’ independence. That led Ukraine to sever ties with Syria.
"The Syrian Arab Republic has decided to break diplomatic relations with Ukraine in conformity with the principle of reciprocity," a Syrian Foreign Ministry statement said.
