The newly elected President of Romania, Nicușor Dan, has ruled out the possibility of Romanian troops participating as part of a foreign contingent in Ukraine, saying it would be inappropriate given the tensions with Russia. This is reported by Politico, writes UNN.

In particular, he noted this when answering a journalist's question about sending Romanian troops to Ukraine.
Firstly, to have great operational support on the territory of Romania - yes. To be part of the armies that guarantee peace in Ukraine - no. I think it would be very inappropriate because of the tensions that already exist between Romania and Russia.
He also supported Ukraine's right to independently decide on the terms of peace and expressed skepticism about a quick end to the war. In addition, the new president criticized US President Donald Trump's approach to negotiations with Vladimir Putin, calling the Russian president's demands unrealistic and unacceptable.
I am not very optimistic that we will have peace soon, and I am also glad that the Europeans together decided to continue to support Ukraine until they get the most acceptable peace for themselves.
