Romania is closely following peace negotiations concerning Ukraine’s sovereignty and aims to support Kyiv’s interests by cooperating with the US, as Romanian President Nicusor Dan believes the future of Romania and Europe depends on the terms of any peace agreement for Ukraine. Security expert Marius Ghincea suggests that a legally sound and sustainable agreement is in Romania’s interest, warning that accepting border changes forced by military means could set a dangerous precedent in the Black Sea region. Ghincea also argues that the US proposal would limit Ukrainian sovereignty, potentially subjecting it to international oversight similar to Bosnia and Herzegovina, which would weaken Moldova’s position given Moscow’s pressure on it. Bulgarian Prime Minister Rosen Zhelyazkov emphasized Bulgaria’s unwavering support for the US to achieve a just, lasting, and sustainable peace for Ukraine, while former PM Bojko Borisov echoed the concern that Ukraine’s sovereignty must be protected. The Greek government also condemned threats to sovereign states, noting its commitment to Ukraine despite past tensions with Russia, and highlighted joint defense agreements and energy transit arrangements involving Greece, Bulgaria, and Romania, suggesting Moscow is preparing a proportional response to this cooperation.
