The owner of a restaurant near the border with Ukraine is giving away free meals to Ukrainians who are fleeing the country after the Russian invasion.
The boss of The Folly restaurant in Galati told Insider that she is trying to help in the crisis that has led to the deaths of many innocent civilians.
Cristea said her staff cries with the Ukrainian refugees.
A group of four people in their twenties, who left their parents at home, were crying all the time.
On February 24, Putin launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine. The use of restrictive economic measures by the Western nations has caused the country's economy to plummet.
The British government believes that the sanctions against Russia could last ten years.
The invasion has been criticized by both the West and the Kremlin. A panel member of foreign policy experts advising the Kremlin told Sky News he was shocked by Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
According to Cristea, large numbers of Ukrainian refugees recently started entering Romania to flee Russian forces.
Cristea said that no man between 18 and 55 is allowed to leave the country.
Cristea can serve up to 100 meals a day for those in need. She said a few days ago that there were about 40 people waiting to be served.
Being a nation that experienced Soviet domination for 45 years, the people of Romania are angry about what is happening in Ukraine.
Cristea donated food cans, bottled water, and packaged sweets to the Ukrainian refugees. Hundreds or thousands of activities of this kind have been matched across the country.
Cristea said that there are many that are doing more in northern Romania, where most of the Ukrainians arrived.
Cristea is defiant that Ukrainians are not going to stay under Russian rule.
She said that they are free people.
