Today Ukraine and Syria signed a Joint Communique on the restoration of diplomatic relations. We welcome this important step and are ready to support the Syrian people on the path to stability,Zelenskyy wrote on Telegram.
He said the two leaders also discussed opportunities for cooperation and shared security concerns:
