00:00Now, well into its fourth year, the war in Ukraine, which borders EU Member State of Romania, is showing no
00:06sign of abating.
00:07Despite several attempts at peace negotiations, Russia has, in fact, increased strikes on Ukraine.
00:12The only thing in this moment is that Russia's economy is suffering.
00:19And, in the same way, the Ucranians are able to be able to fight against Russia, but we don't see,
00:29in conditions that are difficult for the Russian Federation,
00:34we don't see the truth of Russia coming to the table of negotiations.
00:39So, we need to be prepared for a continuation of this war.
00:49Incidents involving Russian drones, as well as other types of hybrid provocations by Russia,
00:54show that broader security cooperation is needed along what the President of Romania calls the Axis linking the eastern flank
01:01to the Arctic.
01:02President Dunn also called for deployment of additional US troops to Romania.
01:07The most important thing for us in relation to the American administration is the discussion about the American troops in
01:15Europe.
01:17And here we try to be very present in this discussion, which, as it was announced by the American administration,
01:24will begin in the course of this year.
01:28This is an immediate perspective.
01:32In terms of medium and long, we want to make progress on this, to stimulate the American investment in Romania.
01:41Romania has already received a first tranche of 2.5 billion euros under the Security Action for Euro program, also
01:48known as SAFE.
01:49The funds will be used for military procurement.
01:52The funds will be used for military procurement.
