George Simion, the AUR leader and winner of the first round of Romania's presidential elections, is raising concerns among European officials because of his hostile stance towards Ukraine. Despite presenting himself as a pro-EU and pro-NATO leader, Simion proposes Romania's neutrality in the conflict with Russia, which goes against Romania's commitments as an EU and NATO member. Criticized by European leaders for his ties to Russia and populist rhetoric, Simion is adjusting his rhetoric to appeal to a wider audience, but experts warn that he could act in Russia's interests if elected.
