The head of the Romanian government Marchel Colak stated that no measures for a potential war in his country will take place. Romania does not carry out preparation for a possible conflict with the Russian troops. The country's prime minister Marchel Colak has reacted to the statement of the head of the Georgica Georgitsa, Euractiv reports. He urged to keep calm. According to the official, no preparation in this direction is carried out. "Romania will not enter the war," Marcel Cholak explained.

The head of the government came after Lieutenant General Georgice Vlad, a new chief of defense staff, warned that Romanians should prepare for the possibility of war, mainly if Russia succeeds in Ukraine. He expressed anxiety about the possible escalation of Russian President Vladimir Putin's policy, distinguishing the Republic of Moldova as a probable goal, and tensions extend to the Western Balkans.

The military proposed to introduce voluntary military service for persons between the ages of 18 and 35, both men and women. The Volunteer Military Service is already submitted to Parliament. Georgice Vlad believes that this will be discussed "priority" after the election.

The warning of the head of the General Staff of the Romania Armed Forces emerged at the request of General Patrick Sanders, commander -in -chief of the UK army, who last week urged the British authorities to prepare for mass mobilization due to a potential expansion of conflict in Ukraine, and its potential impact on other countries. We will remind, on February 2 Major General Dmitry Marchenko declared that the Russian Federation will come to Kiev and try to cut off Ukraine from the Black Sea.
