George Simion's statements are aimed at discrediting Ukraine on the international arena and promoting unionist ideology that denies the legitimacy of Ukraine's state border. Moreover, he spreads narratives about the alleged violations of the rights of the Romanian minority in Ukraine,'' the document reads.
