Romania supports a ceasefire in the Black Sea region, interim Foreign Minister Oana Toiu said on Monday, stressing that Russia must not be allowed to use bread 'as a weapon.'

'Our priority, from Romania's perspective, is to support a ceasefire at the Black Sea. We have witnessed direct attacks on vessels in the Black Sea's exclusive economic zone. Sadly, two people were killed and we extend our condolences to their families. Our rescue teams assisted the injured crew members, who were taken to hospital in Romania. They are now in good condition and we are grateful to the teams involved in the rescue operations,' Toiu said ahead of the Foreign Affairs Council meeting in Luxembourg.

She said that similar attacks had also taken place in Bulgarian maritime waters.
