„Romania will continue to support the neighboring Ukraine”, invaded by the Russian troops, President Klaus Iohannis said before the United Nations General Assembly in New York. He recalled that Romania had offered direct humanitarian assistance to those over 2.3 million Ukrainian refugees crossing its borders since the start of the war. On the sidelines of the UN General Assembly, Romanian Foreign Minister Bogdan Aurescu took part in a meeting with members of the Bucharest 9 Format (B9), which are NATO member states on the Alliance’s Eastern flank. Aurescu pleaded for further multidimensional support for Ukraine and for further pressure on Russia, including through a new package of sanctions. He emphasized the importance of bringing Russia to justice by using the tools of international law.
