Romania will receive as many refugees as will come, gave assurances, on Wednesday, President Klaus Iohannis, who emphasized that our country will open, if need be, other humanitarian hubs and camps.

"Romania will receive as many refugees as will come. I do not intend of refusing any Ukrainian woman or man who is seeking shelter with us, and those who seek refuge in Moldova - and here the capacity is exceeded - will all be received in Romania. We do not intend, we do not intend to bring into the discussion a number or a quota. It's about the values we believe in. Refugees must be helped. As many as they come, they will be received and will receive the aid and assistance that they deserve. It's the absolute minimum that we can do for the Ukrainians in this extremely difficult period and in this catastrophic situation they ended up in through Russia's aggression," said Klaus Iohannis, in Chisinau, after the meeting with President of the Republic of Moldova, Maia Sandu.

He mentioned that Romania will open as many humanitarian hubs and camps as necessary if need be.

"I don't want to be misunderstood. I am not encouraging anyone in Ukraine to leave their home and come here, but all those who feel threatened by war and want to come to us, they will be received," said the head of state. AGERPRES
