The Romanian Parliament on Tuesday adopted a declaration to support Ukraine in the context of the first anniversary, on the 24th February, of Russia’s war of aggression against this country. Parliament reiterated Romania’s firm support for the heroic fight of Ukraine and its people and the respect for the courage, dignity and resistance demonstrated by the Ukrainian army and the civilian population. Parliament also reasserted Romania’s „unyielding support” for Ukraine’s independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity within its internationally recognised borders. The Romanian MPs also underlined their support for the EU accession process of Ukraine, the Republic of Moldova and Georgia. The declaration ends with Romanian Parliament voicing its expectation that „the Ukrainian authorities will give careful and swift consideration to the important issues raised by the Romanian state as part of bilateral relations, such as the situation of ethnic Romanians in Ukraine and the need to protect the unique heritage and biodiversity of the Danube Delta in keeping with European and international commitments and standards”.
