The Speaker of Deputies Chamber, Marcel Ciolacu, on Monday stated that February 24 was the day that marked the beginning of the most serious security crisis since the end of the World War II triggered by the "unjustified, illegal and unprovoked invasion" of the Russian Federation against Ukraine.
"Starting with February 24 we are facing the most severe security crisis since the end of the World War II, triggered the unjustified, illegal and unprovoked invasion of the Russian Federation against Ukraine. By using this tribune, we are joining once again all those who are voicing their firm support for the independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine within its internationally recognizes borders. We resolutely reject Russia's irresponsible conduct and call for an immediate and unconditional cessation of military action against Ukraine, as well as for the withdrawal of Russian armed forces from the entire territory of that country. The last few days have shown us horrible images, unbelievable for the Europe of the 21st century," Ciolacu told the joint plenum of the Parliament, during which the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskiy, delivered a speech by video conference, Agerpres.ro informs.
He added that the images in Bucea that have traveled around the world have overwhelmed and revolted.
"We cannot accept that the perpetrators of these massacres remain unpunished, they must be brought to justice, they must be held accountable as soon as possible. In this sense, we fully support the detailed investigation by the International Criminal Court, Romania joining this approach as early as March 2", the Speaker of the Chamber of Deputies transmitted.
Ciolacu assured the President of Ukraine that, as has happened so far, the citizens fleeing the war will find "the protection they need" in Romania.
"War is a tragedy from which no one wins, everyone loses. War only brings death, suffering and destroyed destinies. That is why my thoughts go to the ethnic Romanians from Chernivtsi, Odessa, from all over Ukraine. The Romanians in Ukraine fight these days for the freedom of the country in which they live and I believe, Mr. President, that this is the most sincere expression of the deep connection between our nations. Your courage and that of the people of Ukraine, regardless of ethnicity, the dignity and the determination with which you fight for freedom and the right to decide your own destiny, are an example to the whole world. The victory of Ukraine is a necessary victory both for the European future of your country and for the European course of the Republic of Moldova. The success of Ukraine means the victory of freedom, democracy and European values in this region of Europe", added Marcel Ciolacu.
