The Reconstruction of Ukraine and the Strategic Role of Romania – Bilateral and International Perspectives

Abstract

In the current context of Russia's war in Ukraine, the security model in the Black
Sea region is subject to variable dynamics, and from the perspectives of Romania and
Ukraine, this necessitates a much deeper analysis.
The imbalance created by the war in the Black Sea region not only affects the two
directly involved countries but also generates profound and lasting repercussions for the
entire region and beyond. This underscores the need for proactive diplomacy and strong
regional cooperation to prevent the escalation of conflicts and ensure long-term stability
and prosperity.
The illegitimate, illegal, and unprovoked war initiated by Russia against Ukraine has
profound implications for the entire Black Sea region, creating a significant imbalance
and multiple challenges for all the coastal states. This paradigm highlights the importance
of regional cooperation and preventive diplomacy to restore equilibrium and maintain
security in this strategic area.
From Romania's perspective, the conflict between Russia and Ukraine in the Black
Sea region has deep and diverse implications. This underscores the importance of a wellthought-
out national strategy that balances Romania's security, diplomacy, and economic
interests in a volatile regional environment (Celac et al., 2016).
