In February, North Macedonia abstained from two UN resolutions condemning Russia's aggression in Ukraine, a decision that reflected the country’s alignment with its key ally, the United States, amid complex geopolitical dynamics in Europe, the country's Foreign minister has told Euronews in an interview.
"In this current situation, because there was no alignment within the Common Foreign and Security Policy within the European Union, we chose to vote aligned with our strategic partner, the United States," Mucunski said, adding: "This means that we do support Ukraine, and we do support the necessity of protecting Ukraine's integrity and territorial sovereignty. We also agree that there needs to be a path toward peace."
