Europe must remain focused on Ukraine despite Iran situation, Romanian president says

Romanian president Nicuşor Dan stated on Thursday, March 19, that Europe must remain focused on Ukraine, despite the substantial rise in fuel costs caused by the war in Iran.

The president made press statements after the European Council meeting in Brussels, where the situation in the Middle East was discussed. One of the main topics of the meeting was the price of fuels, but also the possibility of migratory flows. Fuel costs rose throughout Europe after Israel and the US started their bombing campaign in Iran on February 28, killing Iranian leader Ali Khamenei.
