Any change in the situation causes concern,” said Caretaker Minister of Defence Dimitar Stoyanov before the start of today’s meeting of the Security Council with caretaker PM Galab Donev which is connected with the consequences, for Bulgaria, of the annexation of Ukrainian territories by Russia. In the words of Minister Stoyanov, there is no change in the situation in the Black Sea at this time. The only risk is from drifting mines. Mines have been found in Romania, Bulgaria and in Turkey.
