Details: The decision was supported by 233 MPs, while 18 voted against, and 25 abstained.
In his letter to the parliament, President Johannis wrote that recent developments in Russia’s war against Ukraine have highlighted the need to enhance the training of Ukraine’s armed forces.
“As a result of our analysis, it was determined that Romania can contribute to the Marine Forces Coalition by hosting a maritime training centre on its national territory and supporting the training of Ukrainian marines within our current capabilities,” the Romanian president stated.
The proposed plan outlines that the facility will operate for two years, with Romania reserving the right to terminate its commitments at any point during the training process or after the designated period ends.
Background: In September, it was reported that the first group of Ukrainian pilots began theoretical training on F-16 fighter jets in Romania, with practical training expected to begin in the coming months.
Additionally, Ukraine recently participated in NATO’s counter-drone exercises for the first time.
