""We agreed to work together to provide more security and opportunities for development for our societies," Zelenskyy said in a statement. "We discussed the situation in the region and prospects for improving it.""
""For decades, Syria was a strongly pro-Russian country, with corresponding propaganda and a Moscow-centric worldview among the elites and the general population. And now [there is] such a geopolitical break," Serhiy Danylov stated."
""We clearly understand the energy and infrastructure challenges that Syria is currently facing," Zelenskyy added, highlighting the importance of collaboration in addressing these issues."
Volodymyr Zelenskyy's recent visit to Syria signifies a pivotal moment in Ukraine's diplomatic relations in the Middle East. Discussions with Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa focused on enhancing security, development opportunities, and addressing regional challenges. Zelenskyy emphasized Ukraine's role in food security and acknowledged Syria's energy and infrastructure issues. The visit follows a historical shift in Syria's alignment, moving away from its long-standing pro-Russian stance, particularly after the severance of diplomatic ties in 2022 due to Syria's recognition of breakaway regions in Ukraine.
