Romanian presidential candidates Bucharest Mayor Nicușor Dan and AUR party leader George Simion have offered sharply differing attitudes to support for Ukraine in their first television debate, hosted by Euronews Romania.

The bloc is struggling to maintain a unified line of support for Ukraine and ramp up the continent’s defence capacity in the face of vacillating support from US President Donald Trump.
