MAE responds to Putin
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs reacted after Vladimir Putin claimed that Romania and Bulgaria’s accession to NATO was the main reason that led to the outbreak of the War in Ukraine.
The only country that « threatens » regional security in Europe is the Russian Federation, through the illegal and unprovocated war marked by numerous war crimes against the civilian population in Ukraine and doubled by a Russian campaign to misinform and propaganda anti-EU and NATO, said the spokesman of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MAE).
« The accession to the NATO of Romania represents the sovereign will of the citizens of Romania and the allied nations. At the same time, Romania’s belonging to NATO is not a security threat to anyone. This is concrete and proven. President Putin uses the same known narratives that have served as a pretext for a brutal war, » said.
According to him, Romania « will continue to defend its security interests in full sovereignty from its double NATO and EU member state, » according to Agerpres.
Vladimir Putin’s statement was made in a documentary broadcast by Russian public television and in which recent interviews with the Kremlin leader appear.
« In Bulgaria and Romania, the so -called advanced American advanced bases appear, each with 5000 soldiers. We have the legitimate right to ask: against whom this expansion takes place? Russia either will be independent and sovereign or there will be no.
But unfortunately, they did not hear them, that is, everyone heard, but they did not react properly. Finally, this led to the tragic events in the Ukrainian direction ”.
