Former Romanian foreign minister Adrian Cioroianu and AUR European Parliament member Gheorghe Piperea will face each other in a public debate over a question that has divided Romanian society: should Romania help Ukraine in its war with Russia?

The debate is scheduled for Saturday, Sept. 5, at 6 p.m. at Veranda Mall in Bucharest. It will also be broadcast live on social media. The Lupii Tricolori Association is organizing the event, with journalist Claudiu Lucaci serving as moderator.

Should we or should we not help Ukraine in its war with Russia?

· Lupii Tricolori AssociationThis is the central question announced for the Bucharest debate.

The association described the meeting as the second debate in its “Ring of Tricolor Ideas” series. Organizers said they wanted to bring opposing speakers together in public, “with everything on the table,” at a time when society is strongly polarized and genuine debate is increasingly rare.

We do not aim to establish the truth, but to create bridges for dialogue between separate bubbles.

· Lupii Tricolori AssociationThe organizers described the intended purpose of the debate.

They said the purpose was not to establish a single truth, but to build bridges between separate social groups. Members of the audience will be able to listen and ask questions during a designated segment.

The organizers also said they would not allow chanting, uninvited interventions or loud demonstrations of approval or disagreement. They presented the event as a civil discussion focused on arguments and ideas.

The debate will be a civilized one, of arguments and ideas.

· Lupii Tricolori AssociationThey outlined the tone and rules planned for the event.
