The Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MAE) rejects the position of the Russian Federation's Embassy in Bucharest following the regrettable incident that took place on Wednesday morning.
According to the quoted source, MAE highlights that the integrity of the staff of the Russian Federation Embassy in Romania was not affected, nor its building.
"MAE draws attention that Romanian institutions have prepared, since February 24, 2022, that the security staff allocated to the Russian Federation be supplemented. Also, on March 5, a new measure for consolidating the Russian Federation's Embassy protection was prepared, by allocating a new patrol, support and intervention team. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs highlights that these measures to supplement the protection staff were also disposed to operatively meet the expectations of the Embassy of the Russian Federation," the quoted press release specifies.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs reiterates, on this occasion, too, the firm condemnation of the crimes committed in Bucha and other cities in Ukraine, for which the responsibility belongs to Russia, being committed in areas in Ukraine that were under the occupation of the Russian armed forces at the time of their being committed.
"Romania considers that it is very important for all those that committed these actions to be investigated, brought to justice and to answer for their actions," MAE highlights.
