Commemoration of the Bucha Tragedy Anniversary
The meeting in Kyiv holds special symbolic significance: the date was chosen to commemorate the anniversary of the killings of civilians in Bucha, carried out by Russian military forces. Participants in the event plan not only to honor the memory of the victims but also to reaffirm the EU’s readiness to assist in holding those responsible accountable for these crimes.
“On March 31, we will be pleased to welcome the EU’s High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Kaja Kallas and the foreign ministers of EU member states to the ministerial meeting,” he stated.
Support for Ukraine and European Solidarity
During the negotiations, the parties plan to discuss further support from the EU, increased sanctions pressure on the Russian Federation, and joint efforts to achieve peace and long-term stability in Europe. Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha expressed gratitude to European colleagues for accepting the invitation and for their active stance in support of Ukraine.
Kaja Kallas, for her part, emphasized the importance of this meeting, especially in the context of the fourth anniversary of the Bucha tragedy. According to her, the EU delegation will come to Kyiv with a clear and united message of support for Ukraine, as well as a demand to hold Russia accountable for war crimes. Kallas stressed that justice is fundamental to achieving lasting peace.
Furthermore, the European Commission recently proposed the establishment of a special tribunal to investigate the crime of aggression against Ukraine. Andrii Sybiha positively assessed this proposal, noting its particular relevance ahead of the anniversary of the Bucha tragedy.
