Ukraine is grateful to Romania for the significant assistance provided since the first day of the war – the Ukrainian ambassador to Bucharest, Igor Prokopciuk, said on Wednesday during a ceremony organized on the occasion of Ukraine’s National Day. Tens of thousands of Ukrainians have found temporary refuge on the Romanian territory, international assistance centers operate in Romania, which also facilitates Ukrainian exports, the Ukrainian diplomat added. Igor Prokopciuk also appreciated the fact that, on Ukraine’s Independence Day, the Ukrainian flag was hoisted at the Romanian Foreign Ministry and that its headquarters, as well as the buildings of Romania’s Parliament and Government were illuminated in the colors of the Ukrainian flag. He reiterated Kyiv’s commitment to carrying out the necessary reforms for the European and Euro-Atlantic integration of Ukraine. „The unjustified, unprovoked and illegal aggression by Russia must stop.” the Romanian president, Klaus Iohannis, wrote in a Twitter post.
