As EU member states and NATO allies, Bulgaria and Greece are responsible for ensuring regional security, Bulgaria’s President Rumen Radev said in an interview with the Greek daily newspaper Kathimerini. In his words, the sensitivity of Bulgarian society to Russia's historical role in the liberation of Bulgaria does not alter the fact that Sofia condemns Russia's aggression and the war in Ukraine. 

"Bulgaria will continue to support Ukraine and the Ukrainian refugees to the extent of its capabilities", said Rumen Radev. “We are approaching the sad anniversary of this brutal war, which has brought terrible suffering, death and devastation to Ukraine, with dangerous consequences on a global scale. I believe that the support for Ukraine must go hand in hand with active diplomatic efforts and other effective mechanisms aimed to stop this gruelling war", Bulgaria’s head of state noted.
