Romania fully supports Zelensky’s peace initiative – president

Romanian President Klaus Iohannis said this in his speech at the UN General Assembly, according to an Ukrinform correspondent.

"When diplomacy is the most difficult to to use, it is precisely then when we need to use it most. Look at the dire global consequences of the Russian war against Ukraine. It has unleashed the greatest security crisis in Eure in recent history, in breach of the international law and with implications going well beyond Eure," Iohannis said.

He stressed that his country was committed to maintain support for Ukraine and Ukrainians for as long as it is needed.

"Our security is not regional, it is global. This brutal war has already harmed nations and pele across the world. Food security stands proof. My country has a crucial re in facilitating the grain exports from Ukraine through our ports on the Danube and the Black Sea. A long-term conflict is unacceptable, and we must stay the course. […] Romania fully supports the peace initiative of President Zelensky," Iohannis said.
