Ukraine made a proposal to Syria
Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiga officially confirmed that Kyiv is ready to restore relations with Syria in the future.
This was his reaction to the fall of the regime of Syrian dictator Bashar Assad.
Assad (Bashar Assad, Syrian dictator — ed.) is a traitor. It has always been and will be so with all dictators who rely on Putin. He always betrays those who rely on him.
