Syria recognized Donetsk and Luhansk as independent regions as a way of backing the Russian president Vladimir Putin's war on Ukraine.
Russia's President announced last February 24th a 'special military operation' in Ukraine sending his troops and declaring an invasion of Kyiv.
NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said during the NATO Summit in Madrid that the Russian war in Ukraine is the "most serious security crisis" in the world since World War II.
