In an era of great power rivalry, Canada is choosing to be principled and pragmatic. To name reality, to act together, and to build what we claim to believe in.
Congratulations to @NicusorDanRO on his historic victory in Romania’s presidential elections.
For Ukraine—as a neighbour and friend—it is important to have Romania as a reliable partner. And we are confident we will. By working together, we can strengthen both our countries and our Europe.
We will always have great respect for Romania and its people, especially given the support we received during the most difficult period in our history.
Dear Romanians, you can count on Ukraine as a good neighbor and partner. We can overcome any challenge if we are united and strong.
I look forward to further developing the strategic partnership between our friendly nations for the sake of their stability, security, and prosperity.
A victory for Romania and its future. 👏🇷🇴 As usual, a victory for democracy, prosperity, and Europe is a defeat for Russia and the other enemies of those things. If MAGA chooses to identify itself with that side, they helpfully make their allegiances clear.
Romania has already responded directly to foreign interference by sending home those who were in contact with a paramilitary group (based on Nazi ideology) that was trying to overthrow the constitutional democratic order in Romania and was associated with a candidate.
Russia has not had free elections for almost 20 years. An aggressor state cannot give lessons in democracy.
In contrast, in Russia the opposition has no access to legal institutions and processes. Opponents are executed a few meters from the Kremlin.
Dmitry Peskov's statement is unacceptable but in line with the systematic effort of the Russian Federation to manipulate and interfere with democratic processes in Romania. The Kremlin finds that it is failing, hence the frustration.
