Russia-Ukraine War: Syria Becomes Second Country To Recognize Two Ukrainian Regions As Independent Nations After Russia.

The "independence and sovereignty of the Luhansk and Donetsk People's Republics" have been publicly recognised by Syria.

According to reports from the SANA and CBN, the Syrian State News Agency.

According to a source in Syria's foreign ministry, "the Syrian Arab Republic has decided to recognise the independence and sovereignty of both the Luhansk People's Republic [LPR] and the Donetsk People's Republic [DPR] in an expression of the common will and the desire to establish relations in all sectors."

According to SANA, the foreign ministry source stated, "Communication with both countries will be created to agree on a framework for developing the links between our countries, including establishing diplomatic relationships based on the established (diplomatic) laws.

As a result, Syria is now the only nation save Russia to legally recognise the independence of the secessionist territories.
