In his speech before the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva on Tuesday, Romania’s Foreign Minister, Bogdan Aurescu, reiterated Romania’s firm and unflinching support for the independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine. The Romanian official underlined the fact that ‘tireless efforts must be made to hold the Russian Federation accountable for the war crimes in Ukraine and offer compensations to the large number of victims.’ Aurescu also spoke about the latest earthquakes that severely affected Turkey and Syria and recalled that Romania was among the first countries to offer humanitarian assistance.
