UKRAINE – Monday marked three years since the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and the presidents of the European Commission and the European Council, Ursula von der Leyen and António Costa, the Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, the Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, and leaders from the Baltic and Nordic countries travelled to Kyiv to reaffirm their support for Ukraine, at a time when the new stand of the United States changes the data of the conflict. In a video message to the participants, the acting President of Romania, Ilie Bolojan, said that Ukraine’s security is vital both for Romania and for the entire European continent, and that support for Kyiv must continue. He pointed out that it is necessary for Ukraine and the European Union to be involved in the peace negotiations and that Romania is ready to coordinate with all European, American and allied partners to contribute to finding the fastest path to a just and lasting peace. A similar message was conveyed by the Romanian Prime Minister Marcel Ciolacu, according to whom Romania must support both the American resolution on the cessation of the war in Ukraine and the European one at the UN. Also on Monday, French President Emmanuel Macron was in Washington for talks with Donald Trump, to convince him to also take into account the security of the Europeans in his talks with Moscow representatives.
