BUCHAREST (Reuters) -Romanian Defence Minister Ionut Mosteanu said on Friday he has resigned from his post after it was revealed he had lied about his studies in his resume.
"Romania and Europe are under Russia's assault," Mosteanu said on Facebook. "Our national security must be protected at all cost. I do not want discussions about my education and mistakes I made years ago to distract those who lead the country now from their hard mission."
