Former Romanian presidential hopeful Călin Georgescu has set off a firestorm by boldly declaring that Ukraine’s collapse is inevitable and that Romania must reclaim its rightful territories once the dust settles.
His remarks, though met with predictable outrage from pro-EU elites in Kyiv and Bucharest, have resonated with many Romanians who reject the globalist narrative imposed by Brussels and Washington.
In a recent interview, Georgescu didn’t mince words: “I am 100% convinced that Ukraine will be divided.” He argued that Romania should recover northern Bukovina, Bugeac, and northern Maramureș—regions with long-standing Romanian heritage. He also suggested that Lviv should return to Poland and hinted at Hungary having its own historical claims.
“Ukraine is an artificial state—it was the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic,” he pointed out. “The war is lost, and the Americans know this—they just want to exit with dignity.”
Unsurprisingly, Kyiv lashed out, accusing Georgescu of parroting “Russian propaganda,” while clinging desperately to its crumbling borders. The Ukrainian Foreign Ministry dismissed him as “absurd,” unwilling to acknowledge the reality on the ground.
Bucharest’s pro-EU government quickly fell in line with Brussels and Washington, reaffirming its blind support for Ukraine’s “territorial integrity.” The Romanian Foreign Ministry obediently parroted NATO’s talking points, ignoring the historical truth that these lands were once part of Romania.
Romanian politicians, desperate to appease their globalist overlords, rushed to condemn Georgescu. MEP Dan Barna ridiculed his statements, calling them “crazy,” while USR leader Elena Lasconi lamented the lack of stronger opposition to his words.
But despite the establishment’s coordinated attacks, Georgescu remains a powerful political force. Though he has yet to formally announce his candidacy for Romania’s presidential election in May, polls show him leading the pack. His unapologetic stance against EU overreach and his commitment to national sovereignty are striking a chord with a public tired of being dictated to by foreign interests.
Lasconi sneered, “Romania deserves a leader, not a false prophet.” Yet, it’s clear that many Romanians see Georgescu not as a “prophet” but as a patriot willing to stand up for Romania’s rightful place in history—something the EU-backed political class refuses to do.
With Ukraine’s collapse looming, the question isn’t if borders will shift, but when. And when that moment comes, will Romania stand up for its own interests—or continue bowing to the globalist agenda?
