  1. The crisis we face today requires enhanced cooperation and common solutions. Global action for Ukraine and for defending the rules-based international order has now become even more relevant. And we now need an effective United Nations reform, starting with this very organ, which is entrusted with the maintenance of international peace and security. We must avoid fatigue and grow even more united and resolute in defending and upholding our values and international peace and security, starting with a just and sustainable peace in Ukraine.

  2. Romania remains committed to supporting global efforts on food security. So far, we have facilitated the transit of more than 25.5 million tons of Ukrainian grain. With another winter approaching, we will meet the expectations of the vulnerable once again. Since the first day of the war of aggression, the Government and people of Romania acted as first responders in providing help to the some 6 million of Ukrainians who have crossed our borders and sought shelter in our country. Romania strongly supports the efforts to seek accountability for all the crimes committed against Ukraine, including the crime of aggression. There should be no impunity for those responsible for atrocities in Ukraine. That is another aspect of a comprehensive, just and lasting peace in Ukraine.

  3. Recently, fragments of Russian drones were found on our territory in the proximity of the Romania-Ukraine border, generating a high risk for the inhabitants of the area. The war is challenging the resilience of neighbouring States such as the Republic of Moldova, the State most affected by the war besides Ukraine itself. The impact of the war of aggression against Ukraine also remains a matter of concern for all United Nations Member States. It has consequences of global proportions, especially for food security, energy and economic stability. By terminating the Black Sea Grain Initiative and attacking Ukrainian ports on the Black Sea and the Danube River — just across from the territory of Romania — the Russian Federation has further intensified the global food crisis.

  4. Today we stand with the Charter and international law and reiterate that there is only one way to end the aggression: the Russian Federation needs to cease its use of force and withdraw completely and immediately from the territory of Ukraine within its internationally recognized borders. Ukraine’s independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity should be respected by all United Nations Member States. But peace in Ukraine cannot be restored by inaction. Romania fully supports the Ukrainian peace formula as the single framework conducive to a fair, lasting and sustainable peace — a peace that does not reward the aggressor. This illegal war is affecting both our region and, as the Council knows, the entire world. It is severely affecting security in the wider Black Sea area.

  5. I commend the Albanian presidency of the Security Council for organizing this significant high-level open debate on the maintenance of peace and security in Ukraine. As a neighbouring country of Ukraine, I would like to share some perspectives more than a year and a half after the Russian Federation’s unprovoked, unjustified and illegal war of aggression against Ukraine started. The Russian Federation, a permanent member of the Security Council, generated and prolonged the gravest international crisis of multilateralism since the end of the Second World War. It undermines the Charter of the United Nations and everything the United Nations stands for.
