The support strategy for Ukraine and the response measures taken by the international community to counter Russia's actions, including the extended package of sanctions, were discussed yesterday at a video conference meeting initiated by US President Joe Biden.

The talks were attended by allied leaders of the European Union and NATO institutions, as well as of the partner states, who reiterated their determination to provide economic, humanitarian and security support for Ukraine in the face of the Russian invasion, said the White House press secretary Jen Psaki.

Romania was represented at the consultations by President Klaus Iohannis.

In his speech, President Klaus Iohannis referred to the importance of maintaining Allied and transatlantic unity and strongly condemned the crimes committed by Russian troops against civilians.

On the other hand, the head of state underlined the wide impact of the current crisis on the security situation on the eastern flank of the alliance, especially at the Black Sea, and spoke about the need to quickly set up the NATO Combat Group in Romania.

At the same time, he called for decisive and coordinated action to eliminate energy dependence on Russia, while also stressing that the sanctions imposed have proved to be an effective tool.
