The Palace of Parliament in Bucharest will be illuminated in the blue and yellow colors of the Ukrainian flag on February 24 to mark four years since the start of Russia\u2019s invasion of the neighboring country, Agerpres<\/a> reported. Lawmakers will also hold a moment of silence during the February 23 plenary session to commemorate Ukrainians killed in the war.<\/p>\n

Moreover, on February 24, the Ukrainian flag will also be raised in front of the Romanian Parliament building as a sign of solidarity.<\/p>\n

The decision was adopted by the Permanent Bureau of the Chamber of Deputies on Wednesday, February 11, following a request from the Embassy of Ukraine in Romania.<\/p>\n

\u201cRomania\u2019s solidarity with Ukraine is of great importance in overcoming the armed aggression of the Russian Federation, restoring respect for the fundamental principles of international law, and developing a peaceful, resilient, and prosperous Europe,\u201d reads the memorandum of the Embassy of Ukraine addressed to the Permanent Bureau.<\/p>\n

In related news, on the sidelines of a meeting in Brussels on February 11, Romania\u2019s defense minister Radu Miru\u021b\u0103 held talks with his Ukrainian counterpart Mykhailo Fedorov. Discussions focused on security developments in the Black Sea region, continued support for Ukraine\u2019s defense capabilities, and coordination efforts in the context of what was described as Russia\u2019s illegal and unprovoked aggression.<\/p>\n

Romania reaffirmed its commitment to supporting Ukraine through bilateral training programs and participation in international initiatives, including at the European level, aimed at strengthening defense industry cooperation and technological partnerships, such as SAFE and BraveTech EU, the Ministry of Defense announced<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the Ukrainian side expressed appreciation for Romania\u2019s donation of a Patriot air defense system and its financial contribution to NATO\u2019s Prioritised Ukraine\u2019s Requirements List (PURL) mechanism, both seen as important for strengthening the resilience of Ukraine\u2019s armed forces.<\/p>\n

\u201cRomania\u2019s support for Ukraine represents a direct investment in the security of Europe and NATO, an investment in our own security. We will continue to actively contribute to joint defense and deterrence efforts through training, participation in international missions, and involvement in multinational initiatives,\u201d the Romanian defense minister said.<\/p>\n
