The Minister of Defense, Ionuț Moșteanu, does not expect additional troops from France, mentioning the internal problems of this country and the historical commitments violated by Romania.

Ionuț Moșteanu stated that he does not expect France to send additional troops to Romania, emphasizing that France has its own budgetary priorities and internal issues. Although Romania benefits from a NATO enhanced battlegroup coordinated by France, with approximately 3,500 French soldiers present, Moșteanu expressed his skepticism regarding a possible increase in the French military presence.

He mentioned that the relationship between Romania and France is good, but that there are historical commitments that have not been respected by both parties, which has led to a buildup of diplomatic tensions. Moșteanu emphasized the importance of strengthening bilateral relations, acknowledging that Romania needs to take more steps towards France to improve collaboration.
