The entry of Russian warships into the exclusive economic zone of the Black Sea countries, including that of Bulgaria, the declaration that parts of the Black Sea’s international waters are unsafe for navigation, is unacceptable and harms the economic and financial interests of the countryand its citizens. This is the position expressed by the Bulgarian side at the consultations on the basic principles for achieving peace in Ukraine, held in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, Bulgaria’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs said.

“"Bulgaria condemns Moscow's decision to withdraw from the so-called Grain Deal, using food security and food supply as a weapon to achieve imperial ambitions. The targeted destruction of civilian infrastructure, including ports along the Danube River, creates a serious risk of escalation in the region. Bulgaria remains committed to assisting the export of Ukrainian grain, including through the territory of the country”, the statement reads.
