Syria recognized the independence of Ukraine on December 28, 1991. The countries established diplomatic relations on March 31, 1992. [2]

Due to the Ba'athist Syria's recognition of the Russian occupation of Crimea in 2014, bilateral relations were frozen.

[1]

Syria enjoyed an improvement in relations with several of the states in its region in the 21st century, prior to the Arab Spring and the Syrian civil war. Until 2018, due to the Syrian civil war, the Syrian Arab Republic's government was partially isolated from the countries in the region and the wider international community.
