The first lady, who is on a four-day trip to Europe, toured classrooms and also met with students, several of whom were refugees from Ukraine.
"I crossed the border with my 3-year-old son and everything I was thinking about was how to save my child from a city that was bombed," Anastasia Konovalova, a Ukrainian refugee who is helping teach at the Uruguay School, told Biden."Thank God the Romanian people were here. I think even the Romanians didn't expect that they could be so wonderful, because you don't expect that from people.
I mean, we talked about literature, Shakespeare, we talked about Mark Twain, we talked about exercise. I mean, stuff that just women do when they get together, and they feel like they have something in common."Biden stressed that beyond the small talk, the objective of the meeting was to talk about hope for Ukraine's future and the"strong alliance" between the US and Romania."We feel safer knowing that [the United States] back us up," Iohannis said.
