Ukraine formally restores ties with Syria after leaders meet at UN

Ukraine and Syria have formally restored diplomatic relations, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky says after meeting his Syrian counterpart Ahmed al-Sharaa on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly.

Ukraine broke off relations with Syria in 2022 after ousted Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad’s government recognized swathes of Russian-occupied Ukraine as “independent” Russian-backed areas.
