The Romanian Parliament has signaled its readiness to participate in Ukraine’s postwar rebuilding process as the conflict with Russia moves toward a resolution. This development was conveyed by DEA News.
During a joint session of the Senate and the House of Representatives, lawmakers approved a declaration showing strong support for Ukraine. The official vote tally recorded 285 deputies voting in favor, with five voting against and two abstaining. This outcome underscores a unified stance in favor of sustained international assistance as Ukraine navigates recovery and reconstruction.
The declaration emphasizes a clear commitment to bolster civilian protection and humanitarian relief while outlining Romania’s anticipated role in Ukraine’s civilian and infrastructural rebuilding efforts. It also highlights Romania’s readiness to contribute to the broader international effort aimed at restoring essential services, housing, and livelihoods for displaced and affected populations.
Beyond immediate aid, Romanian lawmakers stressed the importance of Ukraine advancing its path toward European Union membership. By supporting Ukraine’s EU accession process, they signaled a long-term regional integration strategy that aligns with shared democratic values and security goals.
Speaking in the wake of the vote, Bogdan Aurescu, former head of Romania’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, noted that the country has proposed sanctions on Russia in response to attempts to destabilize neighboring Moldova. The suggestion reflects a broader policy stance aimed at maintaining regional stability and deterring interference in Moldova’s internal affairs.
Earlier, Moldovan President Maia Sandu criticized Moscow for waging a mixed campaign against Moldova, including efforts to sponsor protests aimed at unseating the current administration led by Dorin Recean. The discourse in Bucharest and Chisinau signals a shared concern over security challenges in the region and a commitment to collaborative responses in defense of democratic governance and stability across the post-Soviet space.
