Ukraines Ministry of Foreign Affairs has commented on remarks made by Clin Georgescu, a farright proRussian Romanian politician, and stressed that they are a manifestation of extreme disrespect for Ukraine.
Source European Pravda, citing Heorhii Tykhyi, spokesperson for Ukraines Foreign Ministry, in a statement Details Tykhyi emphasised that Georgescus remarks, which questioned Ukraines territorial integrity, were a clear display of extreme disrespect towards the country and its people.
In his controversial statement, Georgescu referred to Ukraine as a fictitious state and suggested that its division among neighbouring countries was inevitable.
Ukraines Ministry of Foreign Affairs considers such remarks to be utterly unacceptable.
The ministry condemned revisionist rhetoric or actions that encroach on Ukraines sovereignty and territorial integrity, contradict international norms, the UN Charter and basic democratic values.
Against the backdrop of such remarks, Clin Georgescus attempts to position himself as an independent politician look preposterous the points he makes are completely identical to those of Russian propaganda, which indicates complete dependence on his masters in Moscow, the Foreign Ministry stressed.
Tykhyi pointed out that despite Georgescus remarks, Ukraine firmly believes it is in the Romanian governments best interest, as well as in the interest of the Romanian people, to work towards a comprehensive, just and sustainable peace in Ukraine, fostering development between the two countries in peace, security and prosperity.
We remind you that such a development does not align with the goals of the Kremlin and its puppets, the Foreign Ministry stated.
At the same time, Tykhyi added that Ukraine values the fact that Romania and its people have been firmly supporting Ukraine since the onset of Moscows fullscale war.
