Interim president Bolojan has never stated Romania intends to send Romanian military to Ukraine

Presidential advisor for National Security Cristian Diaconescu said on Friday that in no context, official or unofficial, has interim President Ilie Bolojan stated or suggested that our country is willing or intends to send Romanian military to Ukraine, and that the information appearing in the public space is "completely untrue".According to a press release issued by the Presidential Administration, the presidential advisor is making these clarifications in the context of the appearance in the public space, especially on some social networks, of "completely untrue" information, erroneously attributed to statements of interim president Ilie Bolojan on possibly sending Romanian military to Ukraine."In no context, officially or unofficially, has interim president of Romania Ilie Bolojan stated or suggested that our country is willing or intends to send Romanian military to Ukraine. On the contrary, his public statements have consistently underlined Romania's continued multidimensional support for Kyiv, without including the prospect of deploying troops to the conflict-torn neighboring country. This was in line with the national position established following consultations with representatives of political parties, in preparation for the participation in the European Council of March 20, 2025, and with the decision adopted at the meeting of the Supreme Council for the Defence of the Country on March 28, 2025," emphasized Cristian Diaconescu.He added that, according to the national legal framework, a possible decision on the deployment of Romanian military in a conflict zone must be adopted by the Supreme Council for Defence of the Country and submitted to Parliament for approval."Therefore, such a measure cannot be taken unilaterally by the President of Romania without prior, clear and unequivocal public communication," explained the presidential advisor.At the same time, the coordinator of the interim President of Romania's Chancellery urges citizens and media representatives to consult official sources and avoid disseminating or amplifying unverified and, implicitly, potentially false information.
