North Macedonia’s Foreign Minister, Timcho Mucunski, wrapped up a one-day working visit to Ukraine on Friday, where he participated in a high-level ministerial meeting in Lviv on the establishment of a Special Tribunal for the Crime of Aggression against Ukraine, as well as an informal session of the EU Foreign Affairs Council.
Mucunski, the only minister from the Western Balkans to attend, traveled to Ukraine at the invitation of Ukrainian Deputy Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha and the EU’s High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Kaja Kallas.
“We reaffirmed North Macedonia’s principled support for Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, as well as the initiative to establish legal accountability for acts of aggression,” Mucunski said, urging an immediate and unconditional ceasefire by Russia and joint efforts toward achieving a just and lasting peace.
As part of the visit, the ministers paid tribute to fallen Ukrainian soldiers at the Lychakiv Cemetery in Lviv.
