Skopje, 2 May 2023 (MIA) - Foreign Minister Bujar Osmani spoke over the phone Tuesday with Ukrainian counterpart Dmytro Kuleba, briefing him on North Macedonia's decision to join the core group on setting up a special tribunal for the crime of aggression against Ukraine.

"This step is another confirmation of our continued support to Ukraine in the fight for justice and shared democratic values. The Russian aggression must stop as soon as possible and perpetrators of war crimes must face justice," said FM Osmani.
