Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Andrii Sybiha: "I had a good call with Romania’s Foreign Minister Oana Toiu.
I thanked my colleague for Romania’s steadfast support and strong condemnation of Russia’s latest massive missile and drone attack against Ukrainian cities. Such clear voice matters a lot at a time when Russia continues to reject peace and intensify its terror against our people.
I also thanked Oana for her principled statement at the latest UN Security Council meeting. As she rightly noted, the deliberate targeting of civilians and civilian infrastructure constitutes a blatant violation of international law and the UN Charter.
I briefed my colleague on the latest battlefield developments, ongoing diplomatic efforts aimed at achieving a comprehensive and lasting peace, as well as Ukraine’s current defense needs.
The recent Russian drone incident in Romanian airspace once again highlighted that Russia’s aggression poses a threat far beyond Ukraine. Strengthening Ukraine’s air defense and maintaining pressure on Russia are essential for regional security.
I welcomed the strong outcomes of the B9 Summit in Bucharest, which reaffirmed that security in our region is indivisible. We discussed ways to further strengthen regional security, cooperation in the Black Sea region, and our joint efforts to advance peace and stability in Europe.
Grateful for Romania’s friendship, solidarity, and continued support".
