Politicians in Bulgaria are taking advantage of Russian propaganda and manipulation to gain short-term political advantage, US Ambassador Herro Mustafa said at a forum in Sofia on war in the digital age.

"But this has long-term implications. It has a devastating effect on society - undermining trust, increasing fear. In this digital information war, the battlefield stretches as far as the universe of technology can reach," the ambassador said. 

Herro Mustafa noted that many people in Bulgaria have realized that Russia has nothing to offer them except "lies and wars."
