The Russian public television has broadcast film footage from the interrogation of four of the masterminds, foreign nationals apprehended in a region situated at the border with Ukraine and Belarus. President Putin says the terrorists\u2019 intention was to flee to the neighboring Ukraine where their escape was prepared. Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky has accused Putin of trying to blame the attack on Kyiv. The Romanian Foreign Ministry has conveyed condolences to the victims\u2019 families underlying that Romania firmly condemns any form of terrorism and violence against civilians.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>DEATH<\/strong> The President of the Writers Union in Romania, professor, literary critic and historian, Nicolae Manolescu, died at the age of 84 due to a heart attack. Many of his colleagues and disciples believe him to be Romania\u2019s most important historian and literary critic since WWII. Nicolae Manolescu also had political activity after the anti-communist revolution of December 1989, being Romania\u2019s ambassador at UNESCO and served as senator during the 1992-1996 legislature. He ran for Romania\u2019s presidential seat in 2000. During his life and career, Nicolae Manolescu became recipient of some of the highest Romanian awards.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>FOOTBALL<\/strong> Romania\u2019s national football selection is training for the friendly against Columbia in Madrid on Tuesday. Our footballers ended in a one-all draw their friendly match against Northern Ireland in Bucharest on Friday. These are the first two training matches of our squad before EURO 2024 in Germany this summer. In June, Romania will be playing also in friendlies against the selections of Bulgaria and Lichtenstein. At the final continental tournament, our squad is part of Group E where it will be playing Belgium, Slovakia and the winner of the tie game on Tuesday pitching Ukraine against Iceland. On Thursday night in the tie semis, Iceland secured a 4-1 win against Israel and Ukraine clinched a 2-1 win in Bosnia.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>TENNIS<\/strong> Romanian tennis player, Sorana Cirstea, has qualified for the third round of the WTA 1000 tournament underway in Miami, Florida, after a two-set win against Sloane Stephens of the host country. Cirstea clinched a 6-2, 6-1 win in a match that lasted 52 minutes and which was initially postponed because of the heavy rainfall. The Romanian will next take on Daria Kasatkina of Russia. Three other Romanians, Simona Halep, Ana Bogdan and Jaqueline Cristian have been eliminated in the competition\u2019s first round. We recall that Halep, a former world number one, came back to competitions after her four year suspension for banned substances had been cut to nine months.<\/p>\n<p>(bill)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MOURNING Russia observes a national day of mourning on Sunday in the wake of the terror attack in a Moscow concert hall that left at least 143 people dead and many wounded and which was claimed by a Jihadi group known as the Islamic State.
