Romania could set up reception centers, especially in major cities along its 650-kilometer border with Ukraine

Romania could accept half a million refugees from neighboring Ukraine if the crisis with Russia deepens, Defense Minister Vasile Danku said.

He said he did not expect many people to flee to Romania, but the EU member state is ready to accept more than 500,000 refugees.

“This is the number we are prepared for,” Danku told reporters.
