Romania strongly condemns the recent missile attack carried out by Russia against Ukraine, Foreign Affairs Minister Oana Țoiu said in a post on X.

“The deliberate targeting of civilians constitutes a grave violation of international humanitarian law and demonstrates Russia’s continued disregard for peace, security, and human life,” the message reads.

The minister also pointed to the fact that the use of ballistic missiles is “in blatant disregard of international law” and further heightens security risks across the entire European continent.
