Relations existed between Ba'athist Syria and Ukraine between 1992 to 2022, when they were severed until the Assad regime collapsed in 2024. The Ukrainian embassy in Lebanon protects Ukrainian interests in Syria.
History
Syria recognized the independence of Ukraine on December 28, 1991. The countries established diplomatic relations on March 31, 1992.
Ba'athist regime
With the start of the Syrian civil war in 2011, Ba'athist Syria became even more politically closer to the Russian Federation. Due to the Ba'athist Syria's recognition of the Russian occupation of Crimea in 2014, bilateral relations were frozen. 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.
On 29 June 2022, Ba'athist Syria recognized the independence of the Donetsk and Luhansk People's Republics, after which on June 30, 2022, Ukraine severed relations with Syria. Syria formally broke its diplomatic ties to Ukraine on July 20, citing the principle of reciprocity.
Post-Ba'athist Syria
After the fall of the al-Assad regime in December 2024, Ukraine urged the global community to work together to support lasting peace in Syria and offered humanitarian aid via the Grain From Ukraine program. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated he is ready to support the Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham-led transitional government. Later that month, Zelenskiy mentioned that 500 metric tons of wheat flour were sent to Syria as part of his country's humanitarian Grain From Ukraine program.
