Nicușor Dan said that if he became president of Romania, he would not send peacekeeping troops to Ukraine, arguing that Moscow would not want the involvement of countries considered "unfriendly" in the event of a treaty with Russia

During a presidential debate, Nicușor Dan said that Romania, by supporting Ukraine, is protecting its own security interests. He emphasized that in the event of a Ukrainian capitulation, the security costs for Romania would increase significantly. Dan explained that peacekeeping forces are not the solution, as peace requires a treaty and Russia does not accept troops from countries it considers unfriendly.
