“I will discuss (with the prime minister – no). I look at the statements of President Macron and other NATO representatives about the diplomatic path that never stands aside. Diplomacy is the only possibility to stop the violence and the conflict (…) What I said is that we must not leave Ukraine alone, that it has only one chance – to fight, fight to the end, but we all must show diplomatic efforts. pressure on the Russians to back down and stop the terrorist action,” Dincu told TVR INFO.

He blamed the “Yeser gang”, which intensified the scandal after his statements.

“I don’t understand at all why this fastening was made in Bucharest and inserted in this key so that the president, the prime minister answered. (…) Of course, we will have discussions. We will of course have a detailed discussion on this topic, but I think this is an idea that seems normal to me. It’s an idea you hear every day if you read the press, so to speak. (…) This is a USR-ist mount, and our leaders have answered some questions designed to be answered that way,” he added, asserting that no one has asked him to resign “at this time “.

After returning to the country from the NATO meeting in Brussels, Prime Minister Nicolae Chuke will ask Vasile Dinka to resign from the government, sources in the Coalition told HotNews.ro.

In an intervention on the Prima TV channel, the Minister of Defense of Romania stated that “the war in Ukraine will continue and that the only chance for peace may be negotiations with Russia.”

“Of course, these are difficult negotiations (…) The countries of the world, NATO, the USA should conduct negotiations for Ukraine about security guarantees and peace with Russia. Ukraine itself will not be able to negotiate with Russia, because the political class in Ukraine cannot now allow, assume (…) the loss of territories, the ultimately unjust loss of territories. It would be too big a defeat for politics,” he said.

Defense Minister Vasile Dinka’s statements, in turn, were supported by President Klaus Iohannis, PSD leader Marcel Cholaku and Prime Minister Nicolae Chuke.

“In this war, Russia is attacking Ukraine. In this war, Ukrainians are paying with blood, and we all have to accept the opinion that only Ukraine will decide when, how and what to negotiate. “This position is our official position, it is the official position of the European Union, and probably some of our senior figures need to read the press journal more often to learn about these positions,” Iohannis said on Tuesday.

Vasyl Dinku, “as a personal, collegial opinion, categorically yes, he was wrong,” Marcel Čolaku said on Wednesday, arguing that when you are the defense minister in a country in a conflict zone, you cannot have “personal opinions, beliefs.”

In addition, he insisted that Dinku did not consult with either President Iohannis or Prime Minister Chuke before making statements about negotiations with Russia.

“I am waiting for the minister to return to the country from the NATO ministry. We want a discussion that is as open as possible to your opinion. This is not the opinion of the government, and then we will have to resolve this issue very clearly,” Nikolae Chuke said on Thursday.
