According to Zelensky, two meetings took place in Damascus – a bilateral one with Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa and the teams of both leaders, as well as a trilateral meeting. The latter involved representatives from Ukraine, Syria, and Turkey.
“We managed to discuss everything: from security and defense issues and the situation in the region due to all the events surrounding Iran to energy and infrastructure cooperation between our countries. We will continue working on food security as well,” Zelensky assured.
The president specifically noted that the negotiation process between Ukraine and Russia was discussed. Zelensky thanked the Syrians who welcomed the Ukrainian delegation during the visit.
“Ukraine was among the first to support a new Syria after the fall of Assad’s regime. We are ready to continue supporting stability and development. We will work even more together so that our peoples, our countries are stronger and our economies can also become stronger,” he added.
Let us remind you that on April 5, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky arrived in Syria on an official visit to conduct negotiations on security and economic cooperation. This is the first visit by a Ukrainian president to Syria since 2002, when the then-leader of Ukraine, Leonid Kuchma, held a meeting with then-President Bashar Assad.
Later, Zelensky reported that he had held talks with Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa. According to the Ukrainian president, the outcomes of the meeting between the countries include agreements, particularly on the exchange of military experience, defense cooperation, and security.
