Romania will get involved in the reconstruction of Ukraine under projects led by the European Commission, as a joint part of the European Union’s effort, but also under projects that could unfold „under the Romanian flag,” Romanian ambassador to Ukraine Alexandru Victor Micula told Agerpres.

He said that Romania is currently working with the European Commission, the World Bank and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development on a funding mechanism for the reconstruction of Ukraine.

„A lot of Romania’s resources will be directed with the help of the European Commission as a joint part of the European Union’s effort, but we also want to have some reconstruction projects where we can put the Romanian flag. We are at a stage where we evaluate potential areas where we could implement such projects and choose the area in which to specialise, what exactly to undertake. We have some experience with the reconstruction and modernisation of kindergartens in Moldova. Let’s say that that could be an area where we would like to undertake some projects under the Romanian flag, but we still have to make our own evaluations, discuss with the Romanian institutions that will be involved in this project, as well as with the Ukrainian central and local administrations. It is a very complex exercise. Before we undertake a national project, we will continue to contribute under multilateral mechanisms to help Ukraine,” said Micula.
