“We find revisionist statements or actions that encroach upon the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine, contradicting international norms, the UN Charter, as well as fundamental democratic values, to be categorically unacceptable and condemn them. In light of such statements, Călin Georgescu's attempts to position himself as an ‘independent politician’ appear absurd: his voiced theses are entirely identical to those of Russian propaganda, indicating complete dependence on the masters in Moscow,” the statement reads.
Ukraine believes that it is in the interest of Romania and its people to achieve a comprehensive, just, and sustainable peace in Ukraine, the ministry added.
