Romania’s Prime Minister Marcel Ciolacu has hailed the proposals announced by the European Commission president, Ursula von der Leyen, regarding the exemption of defense spending from the EU limitations on government borrowing. Marcel Ciolacu claims that Romania has constantly advocated for this solution. Von der Leyen proposed the creation of a new fund, which could mobilize almost €800 billion for defense investments at EU level, as well as for military aid for Ukraine.
