The Government of Romania will keep intensifying the concrete and multidimensional support for Ukraine, reads a press release issued by the Romanian Executive. „Today, we mark two years since the beginning of the war of aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine, an unprovoked, illegitimate and illegal act, in contradiction with all the principles of the UN Charter and the norms of international law that are the basis of the order that the world we live in has been founded on for decades”, the press release reads. „Romania has been by the side of Ukraine since the first moments of this tragedy and made constant and substantial efforts to support the Ukrainian state, as well as the seriously affected population”, the Romanian Government’s release also states. To symbolically mark the significance of this moment and the solidarity with Ukraine, in the evening, the Government building will be illuminated in the colors of the Ukrainian flag. Also today, the flag of Ukraine is flown at the main entrance of the Parliament Palace and at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The sacrifice of the Ukrainian people will be marked by the Chamber of Deputies with a minute of silence for the Ukrainian citizens who have lost their lives in this unjustified war, on Monday, February 26, in the plenary session of the legislative forum. Romania’s President Klaus Iohannis has stated that „it is necessary for the Romanian authorities, together with international partners, to continue efforts to provide humanitarian assistance to refugees and especially for the integration of those who are on the territory of the Romanian state”. Millions of Ukrainians have crossed the border into Romania. Some have stayed and others have gone to other countries. In Romania they have found warmth, empathy and support from the entire society.
