The President also called on all political leaders in Ukraine to show calm, restraint, pragmatism, prudence and a maximum availability and flexibility in dialogue to achieve a broad consensus absolutely necessary for the country to leave the crisis behind.
"As a neighbour country, member of the European Union and of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), Romania supports the independence and territorial integrity of Ukraine, which need to be guaranteed and pursued by the entire Ukrainian political class and the international community.
Taking into account the information currently available, the Ukrainian economic recovery assisted by the international community is one of the main objectives on the short and medium terms, together with ensuring political and social stability. The full compliance with fundamental rights and democratic values should fully govern developments in Ukraine over the future period. "
