Romania’s support for Ukraine’s accession to the Alliance, based on the NATO 2008 Bucharest Summit decision, is ironclad. We also need to consolidate the support for our vulnerable partners, especially for the R. of Moldova, to build up their defence capabilities and resilience.

The destruction of the Nova Kakhovka dam is another war crime by Russia against innocent civilians. Russia and Russian perpetrators must be held accountable. Our thoughts are with all those affected by this horrible attack.
