Marcel Ciolacu: "We have a state under an armed war, Ukraine, and a state under a hybrid war - the Republic of Moldova. Romania is a safe country"
"Romania is a safe country and will not be attacked by Russia, with certainty" - claims Romanian Prime Minister Marcel Ciolacu. The politician made the statement on Saturday, May 25, after being asked what Romania should do after a Romanian was recently arrested for espionage in favor of Russia, and a Russian diplomat was expelled from Bucharest after being declared persona non grata
"Our country is very safe, we are NATO members. Russia will not attack Romania. It's a game, it's a war, and hybrid. The country that is subject to the biggest hybrid war, as you know, is the Republic of Moldova. We have a state under an armed war, Ukraine, and a state under a hybrid war, the Republic of Moldova. (...) Romania is a safe country and will not enter into any war, and Russia will not attack Romania, for sure. We are ready", explained Marcel Ciolacu, in a press conference, according to Agerpres.
We remind you that a Romanian citizen was remanded in custody, after he was accused by Romanian prosecutors of the crime of treason. He is suspected of having sent to the Russian Embassy in Bucharest images of Romanian or NATO military objectives located near Tulcea, as well as images of a military convoy moving towards Ukraine.
At the same time, a diplomat from the Embassy of the Russian Federation in Bucharest was declared, on Friday, May 24, persona non grata on the territory of Romania. According to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Bucharest, the reason for the decision taken by the Romanian authorities is that he allegedly carried out activities that contravene the provisions of the Vienna Convention of 1961 on diplomatic relations. Moscow promised a "befitting response".
