MINISTER FOR FOREIGN Affairs and for Defence Simon Coveney has held a press conference in Kyiv after meeting with his Ukrainian counterparts, and before a visit to Bucha – where images of dead citizens and mass graves shocked the world.
Speaking on RTÉ’s News at One, Coveney said he and Kuleba discussed Ukraine’s accession to the EU “in detail” during the visit, as well as sanctions and the investigation of the chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court. When asked on RTÉ Radio whether he would describe what is happening in Ukraine as “genocide”, as Joe Biden has and as Emmanuel Macron has refrained from doing, Coveney said that international lawyers would determine that.The Department said that Coveney’s visit to Kyiv is the first by any foreign minister of a non-permanent member of the UN Security Council since the war began.
