Ukraine has agreed to help Syria. Kyiv will organize humanitarian and security work first, states Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
“This is important for Ukraine: the more calm the situation in such regions, the more actively the world will be able to help us establish peace,” the president explained.
Zelenskyy noted that Ukraine is ready to help Syria prevent a food crisis. In particular, through the humanitarian program Grain from Ukraine.
“I have instructed the government to establish food supplies in cooperation with international organizations and those partners who can help. And we call on everyone in the world to join the stabilization efforts to ensure that the war that was started in Syria more than a decade ago - started with the participation of Iran and Russia - is finally over,” the President of Ukraine said.

The situation in Syria is currently receiving a lot of attention from Ukraine's partners. In particular, this week it became known that US Secretary of State Antony Blinken and US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan will fly to the Middle East because of the events in Syria.
