The visit of Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskiy to Bulgaria prompted a lot of comments in the country. "President Zelenskiy is a world leader and the fact that he chose to be in Sofia today shows that Bulgaria can be a solid partner and that the country can be relied on", We Continue the Change co-chairman Kiril Petkov said.

According to the chairman of the parliamentary group of the Movement for Rights and Freedoms Mustafa Karadayi, " Volodymyr Zelenskiy's visit to Bulgaria is an assessment of the country‘s propper behaviour".

According to GERB MP and former Minister of Foreign Affairs Daniel Mitov, Volodymyr Zelenskiy's visit was late due to the unclear position of the caretaker cabinets and the Bulgarian president, BGNES reported. Daniel Mitov clarified that Volodymyr Zelenskiy had already made such visits to almost all EU and NATO member states.

"Volodymyr Zelenskiy's visit divides the society. Two thirds do not accept it as normal", Borislav Gutsanov from the Bulgarian Socialist Party said for the BNT. In his opinion, "Bulgaria's involvement in the military conflict is the greatest danger".
