"Romania hosts the largest multinational exercise this year, #SaberGuardian23. Approximately 10.000 soldiers, of which over 5.000 Romanian soldiers, with over 1.700 technical means from 13 allied and partner nations are participating in this exercise. The new reality on #NATO's eastern border - the Russian Federation's war of aggression against Ukraine - has demonstrated very clearly that allied solidarity is not only a principle, but has the most concrete dimensions.
The Black Sea has become an essential frontier for Europe's new security architecture. That is why NATO has intensified its efforts to strengthen and secure the eastern flank of the Alliance and, implicitly, the Black Sea region, by increasing the number of forces deployed on the territory of the countries located in this area.
#SaberGuardian23 aims to increase the level of interoperability between our, allied and partner forces and the level of training of all our military personnel.
