This was stated by Ukrainian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Heorhii Tykhyi during a briefing, according to Ukrinform.

Tykhyi stressed that Ukraine has reached out to the new Syrian government. "We'll see how they act. We know that the Assad regime recognized violations of Ukraine's territorial integrity, which led to the severing of diplomatic ties. If this policy changes, relations will be restored," he said.

He also explained that the 500 tons of wheat flour sent as humanitarian aid to Syria isn’t just a one-off gesture, but a sincere effort to help the Syrian people. "We understand how hard it is for ordinary Syrians after years of war and the fall of the brutal regime. This is part of a broader policy, and you will see more steps in this direction soon," he added.

  • Ukraine sent 500 tons of wheat flour to Syria as part of the humanitarian program.
