The statement follows the call by Russia’s State Duma for Moscow to recognize the breakaway regions of Lugansk and Donetsk and the note verbale sent by the Ambassador of Ukraine to Bulgaria Vitaly Moskalenko.

"The Republic of Bulgaria condemns the aggressive actions of the Russian Federation which are leading to an unprecedented escalation of military tensions in Europe to the levels of the Cold War, and calls for de-escalation," the statement reads.
