Romanian defence minister Angel Tîlvăr had talks with his Dutch counterpart Kajsa Ollongren at the 86th Airbase in Borcea, in southern Romania, as three more F-16 fighter jets from the Royal Dutch Air Force arrived in Romania. The aircraft is delivered to the European F-16 Training Centre located at this Romanian airbase since November last year and will be used to train pilots, including from Ukraine, to operate this type of fighter jet. In another development, minister Tîlvăr received assurances from the US Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs James O’Brien that the United States is working with Romania regarding the security risks emerging in the context of the war in Ukraine. The US official also described the cooperation between Romania and Ukraine as essential for the Ukrainian people.
