Nicușor Dan publicly welcomed the initiative of American President Donald Trump to contribute to ending the war unleashed by Russia against Ukraine, emphasizing, however, that a peace solution must be „fair and sustainable.”
„I welcome the efforts of President Donald Trump to contribute to ending the illegal war unleashed by Russia against Ukraine and to build a just and sustainable peace solution,” Nicușor Dan conveyed in a message posted on the X platform (formerly Twitter) on Tuesday.
The Romanian President specifies that he has signed, alongside other European leaders, a joint declaration reaffirming the fundamental principles in any peace negotiation: "Peace cannot be built without Ukraine, without respecting its sovereignty and territorial integrity, and without the Ukrainian people freely deciding their future."
The declaration, which was agreed upon Monday evening and published on Tuesday, was approved by the leaders of all EU member states, except Hungary, ahead of the meeting between American President Donald Trump and his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, scheduled for Friday in Alaska.
Nicușor Dan reaffirms support for Kiev and commitment to European values: "We will continue to support Ukraine, together with European and transatlantic partners, for a safe, stable, and democratic future in the region and for the defense of the values that underpin the European project."
