Prime Minister Marcel Ciolacu has conveyed Romania’s best intentions and support for Ukraine’s efforts to regain peace and freedom in a message marking the Independence Day in Ukraine. „For the second consecutive year, Ukraine celebrates Independence Day fighting for freedom and its legitimate right to choose its own destiny. For a year and a half now, the Ukrainian people are resisting the Russian aggression with great courage, supported by the strong solidarity of the international community. Romania has had an extremely important contribution”, the message reads. At the same time, Marcel Ciolacu pointed out that in the meeting he had with his Ukrainian counterpart Denys Shmyhal in Bucharest, as well as on the sidelines of the meeting of heads of state and government from South-Eastern Europe and the Western Balkans, also attended by president Volodymyr Zelensky, he reiterated Romania’s firm support for Ukraine. We will stand with Ukraine and the Ukrainian people until victory is achieved and the territorial integrity is restored, as well as in the following period, during the reconstruction of the country, the Romanian official said.
