Syria and Ukraine have currently severed bilateral foreign relations. Relations existed from 1992 to 2022, when they were severed. The Ukrainian embassy in Lebanon protects Ukrainian interests in Syria.[1]
History
Syria recognized the independence of Ukraine on December 28, 1991. The countries established diplomatic relations on March 31, 1992.[citation needed]
With the start of the Syrian civil war in 2011, Syria became politically closer to the Russian Federation. Citing human rights violations by the government of Bashar al-Assad against Syrian civilians, Ukraine closed its embassy in Damascus in 2016, and in 2018 ordered the closure of the Syrian embassy in Kyiv.[1]
On June 29, 2022, Syria recognized the independence of the Donetsk and Luhansk People's Republics,[2] after which on June 30, 2022, Ukraine severed relations with Syria.[1] Syria formally broke its diplomatic ties to Ukraine on July 20, citing the principle of reciprocity.[3]
