KIEV (Sputnik) — Earlier in the day, the Independent reported, citing government sources, that Ukraine had drawn up plans for possible military involvement in Syria.
"The reports that have appeared in certain media about the alleged possible involvement of Ukraine's Armed Forces against Islamic State [Daesh] in Syria are another example of disinformation and the hybrid war being waged against Ukraine," the ministry said in a statement, ruling out any military involvement in Syria or Iraq.
