Russia is waging a war of aggression against Ukraine. I warn foreign nationals who might be agitated to join Russian invasion forces: don’t. We have already launched cases in international courts. Even if you survive, you will be a war criminal. Not worth money or anything else.
I have just had a 📞 conversation with President @ZelenskyyUa. I assured him of Romania’s full support for Ukraine both bilaterally & in the #EU. The humanitarian hub in Suceava has already started to deliver the first aids. We will take care of all 🇺🇦 citizens arriving to 🇷🇴.
We are too dependent on Russian fossils fuels.
We must ensure a reliable, secure and affordable supply of energy to European consumers.
With the #EUGreenDeal, we know how to get there.
But we need to move faster.
This is what RePowerEU is about.
We are further tightening the net of sanctions responding to Russia’s military aggression against Ukraine

Putin took a decision to start this war. But he got a wide support of the Russian people. Nobody's forcing them to participate in these shows of support, they could totally skip it. But they cheer. They cheer, because they feel good, they feel proud. Russia became great again
Some argue that Russian people don't support this invasion and this is all Putin's responsibility. Yes, decision was taken by Putin and was a surprise even for his ministers. But once it was taken, it found huge popular support. People are cheering, they're proud and enthusiastic
Talked to @elonmusk. I’m grateful to him for supporting Ukraine with words and deeds. Next week we will receive another batch of Starlink systems for destroyed cities. Discussed possible space projects 🚀. But I’ll talk about this after the war.
Today, we signed the Memorandum of Understanding for €1.2 billion 🇪🇺 Macro-financial assistance to 🇺🇦Ukraine.
The assistance will help Ukraine finance their needs as they heroically fight against Russia's aggression.

Due to the current situation, Porsche has stopped the delivery of its vehicles to Russia with immediate effect. More information: https://t.co/4ad1VTtk0h
Important warning: Starlink is the only non-Russian communications system still working in some parts of Ukraine, so probability of being targeted is high. Please use with caution.
Welcoming @EU_Commission President @vonderleyen to #CotroceniPalace. In these difficult times, #Romania🇷🇴 is grateful for the EU Commission’s efforts to ensure unity & coordination at #EU🇪🇺 level, and with its strategic allies, to respond to Russia’s aggression against Ukraine🇺🇦.
Desperately needed assistance has to reach Ukraine.
So humanitarian corridors must be opened. Humanitarian convoys need safe passage.
Civilians must be allowed to leave besieged cities safely.
Russia must let our humanitarian partners deliver aid in the war zone.
Talked to 🇰🇷 President Moon Jae-in @moonriver365. Informed about counteraction to Russia. About the crimes of the aggressor. Thanked 🇰🇷 for supporting 🇺🇦 and imposing sanctions. We will continue to work together building an anti-war coalition around the world.
