Syria supports Russia in recognizing independence of breakaway regions

Syria has said it backs its ally Russia's decision to recognize two breakaway regions in eastern Ukraine as independent, Syrian state TV quoted the country's foreign minister as saying on Tuesday.

"Syria supports President Vladimir Putin's decision to recognize the republics of Luhansk and Donetsk," Foreign Minister Faisal Mekdad told an event in Moscow, according to The Associated Press.

The comments came as the United States and allies prepared to announce fresh sanctions against Russia on Tuesday following the development.

"What the West is doing against Russia is similar to what it did against Syria during the terrorist war," Mekdad reportedly said.

Syria has been a steadfast ally of Russia since the country launched its military campaign in Syria in 2015.

In a statement on Tuesday, the Syrian presidency said: "Syria affirms that it is ready to work on building relations with the republics of Luhansk and Donetsk and to strengthen them with regard to mutual interests."
