France: Armed forces minister to visit French troops in Romania on Sunday

French Minister of the Armed Forces Florence Parley will travel to Romania on Sunday to visit the approximately 500 French troops deployed in the country.

“I will go to Romania on Sunday to see our soldiers,” she told franceinfo.

“We developed them because we owe help and solidarity to the countries that belong to the European Union, to the countries that belong to NATO and are closer” to the war in Ukraine, he added. “We want to send a deterrent message to Russia so that it does not go one step further and does not think of violating this limit. We are (in NATO) countries that are bound by a solidarity pact and Russia knows that if one of us is attacked “the whole Alliance will react,” he warned.

At the same time, Parley added, France is also sending a message “to partners and allies” to whom it owes “solidarity and assistance”.
