Russia’s Foreign Ministry accused Romania on Sunday, August 9, 2026, of engaging in direct military and logistical support for Ukraine, claiming Bucharest has turned Moldova’s strategically vital Giurgiulești port into a key transit hub for military cargo bound for Kyiv. Russian diplomat Yury Pilipson stated that Romania’s recent takeover of the port authority operating the Danube facility—which handles over 70 percent of Moldova’s sea trade—marks a significant escalation beyond diplomatic support into direct facilitation of arms and supplies for the Ukrainian armed forces. The accusation places Romania’s expanding role in NATO’s Eastern flank logistics network under sharp scrutiny from Moscow, heightening geopolitical tensions across the Danube region and the Black Sea corridor. #russia #romania #ukrainewar #moldova #nato #giurgiulesti #breakingnews #worldnews #topnews #geopolitics #ctvnews #danube In this Times Now World News report, we break down the this topic: Stay connected
