Bulgaria can drill for gas in the Black Sea and you have huge opportunities to overcome the dependence on Russian gas, the vice-president of the international organization "Free Russia" and former Russian Deputy Minister of Energy Vladimir Milov has told the BNR. He adds that Putin is not a friend of Bulgaria and his only interest is to install a government in Sofia that will drain Bulgaria for the interests of the Russian mafia.

Speaking about the introduction of the 11th package of EU sanctions against the circumvention of EU bans on the export of dual-use goods, Milov said that there were also Bulgarian companies among those supplying Russia with dual-use goods. If Putin did not end the aggression against Ukraine full trade embargo would have to be introduced and Europe must realistically prepare for this, Milov added.
