Romanian parliament approves training Ukrainian marines
The Romanian parliament has approved opening a training center in Romania for Ukrainian marines, Romanian news agency Agerpres reported on Oct. 1.
Proposed by Romanian President Klaus Iohannis, the initiative was supported by 233 MPs, with 18 voting against and 25 abstaining.
In a letter to the parliament, Iohannis said recent developments in the Russo-Ukrainian war show the need to expand the training of Ukrainian troops.
“An analysis revealed that Romania can contribute to the Marine Forces Coalition by establishing a marine training center on its national territory and supporting the training of Ukrainian marines within the available capacities,” the president said in the explanatory note.
Under the plan, the facility will operate for two years, with Romania retaining the right to terminate its commitment at any point during the training process or after the designated period ends.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
