“The position on Ukraine expressed by President Rumen Radev, that by giving it weapons we are prolonging the conflict is ignominious, because it implies that Russia will win in this conflict, and that it is a normal thing, and a good thing for Russia to win in this conflict. I believe that Ukraine will win in this conflict and that we must help it…,” said Deputy Prime Minister Assen Vassilev.

According to him, the alternative is, first Ukraine, and then the whole of Eastern Europe to fall under vassalage. Prime Minister and co-chair of the party Kiril Petkov confirmed that during the vote in parliament, We Continue the Change will support the sending of military-technical aid to Ukraine.

A Bulgarian delegation is beginning a visit to Ukraine tonight. Kiril Petkov, who is heading the delegation, is to meet with the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky.
