Ukraine welcomed Syria’s decision to terminate the investment agreement with Russia, which included the use of the port of Tartus, and the ban on the import of Russian goods. This event was not only an important step for Syria, but also a strategic opportunity for Ukraine.
As noted At a briefing on January 23, 2025, the speaker of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Georgy Tikhiy, the termination of the agreement with the Russian Federation is a symbol of the restoration of Syrian sovereignty and an attempt to free himself on dependence on Russian aggression.
“This step demonstrates the determination of the Syrian authorities to return strategically important objects to the control of the people,” the Tikhiy emphasized.
Ukraine is already actively involved in the support of the Syrian people. As part of the Grain from Ukraine program, at the end of last year, a party of 500 tons of wheat flour was sent.
The program implemented in cooperation with the UN World Food Program showed that Ukraine is able not only to ensure food security, but also to replace Russian products.

Ukraine as a new player in the Middle East Arena
Ukraine strengthens its diplomatic ties with Syria. During the World Economic Forum in Davos, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Andrei Sibiga held negotiations with the Syrian colleague. The topic of the discussion was the program “Food from Ukraine” aimed at scaling humanitarian aid.
According to representatives of the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry, in recent months, dozens of negotiations with foreign partners have been held to increase financing and coordination of actions.
“We will work together with international partners in order to ensure the maximum effectiveness of our humanitarian aid,” said Georgy Tikhiy.
Why is Ukraine better than Russia?
The difference between the approaches of Ukraine and Russia to interact with Syria becomes obvious. If Russia for decades provided Assad regime with weapons and oil, Ukraine is betting on the support of ordinary citizens.
Key advantages of Ukraine:
- Humanitarian focus of assistance.
- Policy of open borders and cooperation with international organizations.
- Lack of militaristic ambitions.
Regional challenges and international conflicts
However, the situation in Syria remains unstable. Despite the overthrow of Bashar al -Assad, the new authorities are faced with a number of calls, including increasing the influence of Israel and Turkey, as well as contradictions with the Kurds.
“Free Syria” runs the risk of plunging into a new cycle of conflicts if the equilibrium point is not found between different forces, ”experts say.
