Summary

Călin Georgescu, a far-right Romanian presidential candidate with pro-Russian views, called Ukraine a “fictitious state” and claimed its division among neighboring countries is inevitable.

He suggested Romania should reclaim Northern Bukovyna, Budzhak, and Northern Maramureş.

Georgescu, who opposes Ukrainian grain exports and military aid, remains the leading candidate ahead of Romania’s May election.

His remarks align with broader nationalist and revisionist narratives.
