Bulgaria’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs has issued a position on the continuing war waged by Russia in Ukraine:
“Recent announcements from Moscow escalate concerns. Coupled with nuclear rhetoric and so-called referenda, these troubling developments for the global domain amplify the necessity of consistent support for Ukraine’s sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity,” the position reads.
On the night before Bulgaria’s Independence Day, 22 September, the lights illuminating the monuments to the Soviet army in Sofia and Plovdiv were switched off at 8 PM.

Addressing the UN General Assembly, US President Joe Biden stated: “Russia has shamelessly violated the core tenets of the United Nations Charter — no more important than the clear prohibition against countries taking the territory of their neighbor by force,” and added that “President Putin has made overt nuclear threats against Europe and a reckless disregard for the responsibilities of the non-proliferation regime.”
