The Ukrainian delegation walked out of the OSCE ministerial meeting in Skopje when Sergei Lavrov, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation, began to speak, APA reports citing Ukrainska Pravda.
The entire Ukrainian delegation left the room when the Russian minister began his speech.
Ukraine was supported by several other delegations, but exactly which ones has yet to be established.
Lavrov, who delivered his speech in Russian, broke off at one point and, apparently responding to events in the room, said in English: "Would you please leave me alone? Thank you."
After his speech, Lavrov immediately left the meeting room.
