A reporter asked Iohannis about whether Romania needs more U.S. troops and defense aid to combat the\u201ddire threat\u201d the country is facing in the Black Sea.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd if I can ask you, Madame Vice President, President Biden has said that Americans will feel some pain for the sake of defending freedom and liberty. But there does seem to be no endgame in sight. How long should Americans expect, how long should we be bracing for this historic inflation and some unprecedented gas prices?\u201d an Associated Press reporter asked.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn terms of the discussions that the president Iohannis had ranged in subject including the issue of the Black Sea and I\u2019ll let him explain in more detail as he would like. But we are, again, fully aware and reprised because we are in constant communication with the president, with his administration here about the concerns that they have about the entire region and frankly the vulnerability.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll you have to do is look at the map and see that where Romania exists geographically and as is the case for our allies on the Eastern flank, that there are potential vulnerabilities which is why we say very clearly, we will dedicate and have been in especially enhancing over the last few weeks, our support based on their current needs,\u201d the vice president continued.<\/p>\n<p>The vice president then said \u201cit was painful to watch\u201d the atrocities in Ukraine caused by Russian President Vladimir Putin and his military forces. She said the Ukrainian people want to \u201clive in their own country and have pride\u201d in themselves and be home \u201cspeaking the language they know\u201d and raising their families in their own communities. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2022\/03\/10\/putin-gas-price-hike-psaki-pins-russia-oil-companies-gas-prices\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">(RELATED: \u2018Putin\u2019s Gas Price Hike\u2019: Psaki Pins Russia And Oil Companies For Rising Gas Prices)\u00a0<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The vice president brought up both the over 2.5 million <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2022\/03\/10\/mike-pence-meets-ukraine-refugees-kamala-harris-trip-poland\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">refugees<\/a> who have fled \u201cwith nothing but a backpack\u201d to neighboring countries in recent weeks, plus the maternity hospital <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2022\/03\/09\/ukraine-mariupol-russia-hospital-bombing-childrens-maternity\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">bombed<\/a> in Mariupol, leaving <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/europe\/live-news\/ukraine-russia-putin-news-03-10-22\/h_d0217c5a7b51d26ca2dbecb25eaecb3a\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">3 dead<\/a> and 17 injured.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have the unfortunate experience\u2014all of us right now that are not in Ukraine\u2014of witnessing horror,\u201d she continued. \u201cSo we are committed in everything we are doing and yes, then the president did say in the State of the Union.
