April 5 (Reuters) - Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy has made his first visit to Syria to hold a meeting with his counterpart Ahmed al-Sharaa, two Syrian sources told Reuters on Sunday.

The talks were linked to defence in light of the regional war, one of the sources, a government adviser, said.
