Klaus Iohannis: “The firm resolve of Romania has been especially laudable in this crisis.”

To spare Romania from this crisis, I am resigning as president of Romania.

I am determined to work closely with Romania as we stand united against the Kremlin's unprovoked, unjustified, and horrific war against Ukraine.

None of our partners will understand why Romania is dismissing its president when the process for electing a new president has already begun.

It is an unfounded move because I have never — I repeat, never — violated the constitution.
