In line with the decisions adopted at the Supreme Council for National Defence meeting on 28 March, Romania emphasised at this meeting the importance of transatlantic cooperation in this process, as well as its position that peace negotiations cannot take place without the participation of Ukraine and Europe," the Ministry of National Defence (MApN) says.The Ministry reiterated that Romania does not envisage sending troops onto Ukrainian territory.Instead, the possibility is being considered of providing logistical support to international forces involved in implementing post-conflict security guarantees. The Ministry of National Defence said that it will continue to monitor the planning and coordination process alongside international partners. This commitment reflects Romania's strategic position and the importance it grants to Euro-Atlantic security. During the meeting, Angel Tilvar also highlighted the importance of achieving a lasting peace in Ukraine, which could contribute to the security and continued European path of the Republic of Moldova.Ensuring maritime security and freedom of navigation are essential elements of any future peace agreement. In this regard, the National Defence minister highlighted the role of the Mine Countermeasures Black Sea Task Group - MCM Black Sea - and the added value this allied cooperation initiative brings in enhancing maritime safety and security.
