US Ambassador to the UN, Linda Thomas-Greenfield, holds a press conference at the Official Hall of Gara de Nord railway station in Bucharest, April 4th, 2022."As I told Prime Minister Ciuca earlier today in our robust discussion, I want the Romanian people to know that you are not alone. In all of your humanitarian efforts, the United States is your committed partner", the Ambassador said.
"It's more than symbolic, and it does have force because it continues what we have started, that is to isolate Russia and call them out for what they are doing," she said."They have a narrative that what they are doing is normal. This is not normal. It is not acceptable, and they will hear from the entire world that we will not continue to allow their misinformation, their propaganda, to be used on a U.N. platform.
