The political movement "Social Democrats" (PDS), which is part of the coalition "We Continue the Change", is against Bulgaria sending military aid to Ukraine.

According to Elena Noneva, the movement's leader, peaceful means and diplomacy must be urgently sought to bring the two sides to the negotiating table.

This war should not end with a winner and losers, but with a ceasefire between the two sides, Noneva said. In this regard, PDS is demanding that a Coalition Council Meeting be convened before the important decision is taken.
