Bulgarian Prime Minister Kiril Petkov said that "We Continue the Change" would adopt neither of the positions that the coalition partners from BSP and "Democratic Bulgaria" express.

It's time to stop talking about red lines and issuing ultimatums, the prime minister said through his Facebook page. He points out that the greatest interest of Bulgaria at the moment is having responsible and coordinated actions of the ruling coalition. A stable Bulgaria is also in Ukraine's interest, the Prime Minister wrote. According to him, the historical moment required responsible decisions, even when they were not compatible with political PR.

"On the topic of sending military-technical assistance to Ukraine, on the one hand we have the BSP, who say such assistance is crossing a red line, and on the other hand we have Democratic Bulgaria with calls for Bulgaria to send weapons directly to Ukraine," PM Kiril Petkov writes. He added that "We Continue the Change" would pursue a policy of active dialogue between the BSP and the DB in order to achieve a unified position.
