Bucharest and Kyiv could become twin cities / Ciprian Ciucu announced that the proposal would be placed on the agenda

The general mayor of the Capital, Ciprian Ciucu, announced on Thursday that a project concerning the twinning of Bucharest with Kyiv will be included on the agenda of next week’s meeting of the General Council of the Municipality of Bucharest. The initiative aims to strengthen cooperation between the two capitals and could enable the provision of concrete aid to the Ukrainian city.

Ciucu stated, at the international conference “Rebuilding Ukraine: Security, Opportunities, Investment,” that Bucharest could support Kyiv with generators or other equipment needed to get through the winter, amid the attacks and difficulties caused by the war. The mayor emphasized that Romania and the Capital have supported Ukrainian refugees since the beginning of the conflict.

The mayor said that he met with the mayor of Kyiv, Vitali Klitschko, and that he intends to continue supporting Ukraine, including during the reconstruction phase. He pointed out that Bucharest, Romania, the European Union and the United States must be prepared to contribute to rebuilding the country after the war ends.

The conference organized by New Strategy Center at Romexpo brings together officials and business representatives for discussions on infrastructure, energy, security, transport, agriculture, reconstruction financing and investment in Ukraine.
