EU Ministers Meet in Kyiv to Mark Bucha Anniversary, Reaffirm Backing for Ukraine

The visit links remembrance to concrete aid with a focus on war-crimes accountability.

Overview

  • Kaja Kallas, the EU’s foreign policy chief, led an informal meeting of European foreign ministers in Kyiv on Tuesday to mark four years since the Bucha massacre.
  • She said Europe will keep providing military, financial, energy and humanitarian support to Ukraine and vowed to pursue full accountability for Russian crimes.
  • A video shared by Ukraine’s foreign minister showed Kallas alongside counterparts from Germany, France, Latvia, Slovenia, Italy and Poland.
  • Spain did not send Foreign Minister José Manuel Albares, who stayed in Madrid for meetings, and instead was represented by Secretary of State Diego Martínez Belío.
  • Bucha, a town about 25 kilometers from Kyiv where roughly 400 people were killed in 2022, now serves as a symbol used by Ukraine and its partners to press for justice.
