What steps is Romania ready to take?
Journalists asked the Romanian Prime Minister to announce the government's reaction to the EU's call on the US to send F-35 fighter jets to Romania as part of security guarantees for Ukraine.
According to Bolojan, throughout the time since the issue of supporting security guarantees for establishing lasting peace in Ukraine was raised, his country has been steadfast "on at least two issues."
First of all, it is said that Romania is not going to send its troops into Ukraine.
As for the second point, the country, given its NATO membership, is ready to provide its military bases.
They are in any case operated jointly by Romanian and NATO forces, mainly the air force, and should be available for use by NATO forces, the United States of America forces, and other allies.
Iliye Bolozhan urged not to forget that even now, air patrols are being carried out from their airports, air protection is being conducted to monitor the situation in the Black Sea, and joint military exercises are being organized.
