Diplomacy. The Romanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs summoned the interim Charge d’Affaires of Belarus to Bucharest, after president Aleksandr Lukashenko said the United States was pushing Europe into a military confrontation with Russia on the territory of Ukraine and several states, including Romania, were directly involved. The interim Chargé d’Affaires of Belarus has been told that the Romanian side firmly rejects such inadmissible statements, which feed the rhetoric based on the threat and use of force in international relations. The Romanian MFA has also stressed that the international role and responsibility of Belarus as an accomplice of Russia in supporting the war of aggression against Ukraine cannot be ignored. At the same time, the Romanian diplomacy recalls that Romania is a NATO member state and benefits, to the highest degree, from all the security guarantees arising from this status.
