On March 18, Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky imposed sanctions against Syrian President Bashar Assad, a close ally of Russia.
In addition to President Assad, the sanctions targeted Syrian Prime Minister Hussein Arnous and Foreign Minister Faisal Miqdad. A document released by the Ukrainian Presidency clarifies that Assad and the two senior Syrian officials are now subject to the blocking of assets and a number of other measures.
The new sanctions included 300 individuals, mostly Russian citizens, and 141 legal entities, mainly research centers, factories, shipbuilding enterprises and aviation industry companies from Russia.
Ukrainian-Syrian relations began to deteriorate in 2016 when Damascus decided to recognize the Crimean Peninsula as a part of Russia. Two years later, Ukraine refused to revalidate residencies of Syrian diplomatic staff in Kiev.
Last year, President Zelensky said Kiev will cut ties after Syria recognized the Russian-backed Donetsk People’s Republic and Luhansk People’s Republic. Damascus immediately responded in kind.
The new Ukrainian sanctions came just a few days after Assad stressed Syria’s support for the Russian special military operation during a meeting with President Vladimir Putin in Moscow. Assad said that the Russian military was fighting “neo-Nazis” and “old Nazis” in Ukraine.
Damascus has not commented yet on Kiev’s step, which will not likely have any impact due to the absence of any economic or political interaction between Syria and Ukraine.

Where did go the Assad mustaches? Sanctioned as well?
Never had, his father had a moustache.
New nazis and old nazis. lol Hafez was a supporter of Mao. Maybe Bashar is the Syrian Deng.
^says the gayreece dung
In what way did Hafez support Mao? Is this information kept with the vast trove of Holdomor documents that you have analyzed? Are you saying that Mao, the most influential communist in history, was a Nazi? You should check the ingredients on those urinal pucks you eat. You seem to be suffering some significant cognitive impairment, Golden Shower Child.
Hafez waved the red book of Mao. And your ilk was defeated once on 1953 and then on 1991. Good riddance. And your only chance for now is to be in Antifa and ally with the radical Islamists against Europe. Churchill said that the fascists of the future will be the so called “antifascists”. If those deranged Antifas, along with their jihadi counterparts, pick up arms against Europe, we the European patriots will finish them once and for all.
Čuo sam da je po prijemu ove vijesti Basar all Asad pao u depresiju i pokušao da se objesi supruga Asma ga je vidjela i skinula na vrijeme 😂😂😂😂😂
This must be the final straw for Syria being sanctioned by Ukraine. The Syrian people must be up in arms. Is Al-Assad visiting Russia or has he fled to Russia given Ukrainian sanctions?
