This marked Mucunski's first visit to Kyiv, where he conveyed a simple message to his Ukrainian counterparts and Macedonian citizens: \"We stand with Ukraine.\"\n\nMucunski highlighted that North Macedonia had extended political, military, financial, and humanitarian support to Ukraine since the onset of Russia's full-scale invasion. He reiterated the commitment of North Macedonia as a NATO ally to continue contributing to collective efforts. However, Mucunski stressed that while deterrence needs to be strengthened today, lasting peace will emerge only through diplomatic endeavors involving the United States, America's strategic partner.\n\nAccording to Mucunski, the roles of both American and European leadership are crucial in fulfilling the shared responsibility of ensuring Ukraine's security, which is inextricably linked to the security of Europe. He further pointed out that the ongoing events in Ukraine will significantly impact the security landscape across the continent, affecting regions from Kyiv to the Western Balkans and extending across the entire transatlantic space.",
