After the conflict between Russia and Ukraine broke out, Russia became the target of public criticism. The United States, together with its European allies, severely condemned Russia, intending to put Russia into an "isolated and helpless" dilemma. Although Russia has been under tremendous pressure, Russia is not without help. Syria , Belarus and other countries are firmly on Russia's side.
Two "new countries" were born in Europe, and Syria took action
When the conflict between Russia and Ukraine just broke out, Russia issued a presidential decree announcing the recognition of the "Donetsk People's Republic" and the "Donetsk People's Republic" in the eastern part of Ukraine Gansk People's Republic" became independent.
Donetsk and Luhansk border Russia. Russian is the recognized native language of these two regions, and Russia is also the "spiritual homeland" of these two regions. After Russia announced its recognition of the independence of the two eastern regions of Ukraine, it aroused strong dissatisfaction in Ukraine, and the Russia-Ukraine conflict escalated again.
Recently, the Syrian Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced a major news. Syria also recognized the sovereignty and independence of the "Donetsk People's Republic" and the "Luhansk People's Republic". On the day Syria announced the news, Ukrainian President Zelensky could not sit still and immediately severed diplomatic relations with Syria.
Zelenskiy intends to increase sanctions against Syria
Recognizing the independence of the two eastern regions of Ukraine is an important part of Russia's special military operations. After the independence of the two eastern regions of Ukraine, Russia established a buffer zone with NATO . Your own security interests can be protected to a certain extent.
The United Nations currently does not recognize the independence of the two eastern regions of Ukraine, and many countries have not expressed their stance on the sovereignty of the two eastern regions of Ukraine. Syria came forward to recognize the independence of the two eastern regions of Ukraine, which really surprised many people. It is understood that Syria is actively communicating with the two eastern regions of Ukraine and even plans to establish diplomatic relations.
Syria’s move aroused strong dissatisfaction with Zelensky. Zelensky angrily stated in a video speech that "there will no longer be relations between Ukraine and Syria." In addition, Zelensky also threatened to impose tougher sanctions on Syria.
It is worth noting that Syria is the second country to announce that Ukraine has severed diplomatic relations. Regarding the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, Syria firmly stands on Russia's side. Syria believes that " NATO's eastward expansion " requires Russia to take action. If Russia does not take special military actions, it may suffer more serious losses.
The reason why Syria supports Russia is because Russia has given Syria great help. Syria was suffering persecution from the United States, and it was Russia that extended a helping hand to it. Without Russia's help, Syria might still be in chaos.
