\nPresident Klaus Iohannis has stated that, in the context of the war in Ukraine,
\nthe North Atlantic Alliance needs to be strong and united more than ever
\nbefore. After a meeting with the Secretary General of NATO, Jens Stoltenberg, he
\nsaid that he expected the meeting of the NATO foreign ministers, due on Tuesday and Wednesday in Bucharest, to
\nreconfirm this goal. In turn, Stoltenberg has stated that NATO will do
\neverything necessary to protect and defend all allies. He also said that the
\nforeign ministers will look for ways to further support Ukraine and to face the
\nRussian pressure in Bosnia-Herzegovina, Moldova and Georgia. As a neighbor to Ukraine, you have proven a generous host to over
\n1.5 million refugees. You assist with the export of millions of tons of
\nUkrainian grain to help ease the global food crisis. And you provide
\nsignificant military assistance to Ukraine. We cannot let Putin win, the
\nNATO Secretary General said.<\/p>\n

\nnation to choose its friends and allies. Unity means also solidarity. Our

\nChildren organization has inaugurated, in Bucharest, the Counseling and
\nIntegrated Services Center for Refugees from Ukraine, which provides assistance
\nto more than 7,100 beneficiaries, approximately half of whom are children. They
\nreceive information and advice in the legal, financial, educational or social
\nfields, as well as other types of services. The center has a mother and child unit,
\nspaces for children and places for teenagers. There are specialists who can
\noffer counseling and individual or group therapy, and non-food products are
\ndistributed to those who need them. They can also benefit from financial
\nsupport, mostly vouchers, but also cash. International studies show that 50% of
\nthe children who fled Ukraine for fear of war suffer from anxiety, and the figure
\nis even higher, close to 75 percent, in the case of teenagers above 16. Although
\nattending school reduces the risk of feeling alone, the rate of participation
\nin classes is worryingly low, Save the Children specialists say. Official data provided
\nby the Ministry of Educations show that, in Romania, approximately 3,000
\napplications for enrollment of refugee children from Ukraine in the national
\neducation system have been registered so far. (MI)<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
