The Romanian Embassy on Monday marked four years since the beginning of Russia’s latest attack on Ukraine, declaring that the situation must not be mischaracterized as a “Ukrainian crisis” but recognized as a clear act of aggression and an international armed conflict initiated by Russia. The embassy noted that Ukraine is exercising its inherent right to self-defence under Article 51 of the UN Charter in response to Russia’s armed attack. It further highlighted grave violations of international humanitarian law resulting from the war, including the unlawful deportation and forced transfer of thousands of Ukrainian children. Reaffirming its principled stance, Romania reiterated its consistent and unequivocal condemnation of Russia’s aggression. As a neighbouring country and a member of the European Union and NATO, Romania reaffirmed its firm support for Ukraine’s sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity within internationally recognized borders.
