Statement<\/strong> — The impact of Romania\u2019s purchasing Patriot missiles will be strong, contributing indirectly to the defense of the neighbouring states and of NATO, the US Ambassador to Romania, Hans Klemm, has said in an interview with the public television. According to Ambassador Klemm, there is no reason that this move should cause tensions with Russia, as the purpose is strictly defensive. Klemm has also said that the purchase of Patriot missile is part of Bucharest\u2019s commitment to earmark 2% of the GDP for defesnse, a commitment that the US firmly supports. We remind you that a Pentagon agency, quoted by Reuters, announced that the US Department of State approved two weeks ago a possible sale of Patriot missiles to Romania, worth 3.9 billion dollars.<\/p>\n

Ukraine<\/strong> — Germany, France, Russia and Ukraine have agreed on some urgent measures aimed at speeding up the process of finding a solution to the conflict in eastern Ukraine, Berlin has announced, after leaders of the four countries discussed the issue over the phone. The talks were held a day after the US special envoy to the Ukraine peace talks, Kurt Volker, had said that Russian aggression is to blame for violence in eastern Ukraine, where people are dying in what should be seen as a “hot war” rather than a “frozen conflict”.
