- Two years have passed since 🇷🇺 launched a brutal war of aggression against Ukraine 🇺🇦. My thoughts are with Ukraine, its people, and armed forces. 🇷🇴 stands firm, offering more than words and actively supporting Ukraine’s strong path within the EU 🇪🇺. Together, we are strong 💪
- I commend the recent order placed by the 🇺🇸 Government to @Raytheon for 🇷🇴 Patriot systems. The radars, control stations and missiles that will equip the next 3 Patriot systems for Romania, contracted in 2023, will strengthen Romania’s strategic air defense capabilities.
