Syria broke out diplomatic relations with Ukraine, Sana reported with reference to sources in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Syrian Arab Republic (SAR).
At the end of June, the Ukrainian side informed Damascus about a similar decision on the breakdown of diplomatic agents. The reason for this was the recognition of the “independence” self -proclaimed “LDNR” by the SAR authorities. Ukraine also began the procedure for introducing a trade embargo in relation to Syria, as well as imposing other sanctions against Syrian legal entities and individuals.
