"The Kremlin's narrative is received quite favourably by a significant part of the population. However, this is changing and more and more Bulgarians are supporting Ukraine", stated Defense Minister Todor Tagarev in an interview with the Ukrainian publication "Kyiv Independent".

The minister points out that the head of state Rumen Radev is pro-Russian, but adds: "Everything is in our hands - the government's, and it differs significantly from the president's position." Todor Tagarev also reveals that the cabinet does not discuss military aid to Ukraine with Rumen Radev. According to him, the president's statements will not affect the support from Bulgaria, which is a parliamentary republic.

Todor Tagarev also says that it is our country's moral duty to help the victim of aggression, as well as that it is in our strategic interest for Ukraine to stop Russian aggression and succeed in restoring its sovereignty and territorial integrity. "This is key for stability in Europe - especially for Eastern Europe and the Black Sea region," concludes the Bulgarian Minister of Defence.
