VMRO-DPMNE President Hristijan Mickoski said that the people of Macedonia will reject attempts by the politicians to divide them into pro-Ukrainian and pro-Russian camps.

We have political vultures who divide our people and instill divisions instead of unity. I heard the statement from President Pendarovski who, regretfully, notes that the people in Macedonia are pro-Russian. It’s the stupidest statement I have heard. The people are not pro-Ukrainian or pro-Russian, they are pro-Macedonian. The more they read the comments from Zaev, Ahmeti, Artan Grubi, Osmani, Kovacevski and Pendarovski, stating “glory to Ukraine”, the more they revolt against that position. This is revolt against the policies of the Government, Mickoski said.
