China is the big winner from the EU sanctions policy against Russia, Bulgarian President Rumen Radev told CNN. Regarding the war in Ukraine, Radev thinks that the moment is approaching when “Ukraine may be left without enough people who will fight.” Therefore, instead of the threat of direct military intervention by Western countries in Ukraine and World War III, the Bulgarian head of state prefers to support US efforts for a peace process between Russia and Ukraine.
“The full potential of diplomacy has not yet been mobilized. That is why I strongly support the efforts of President Trump. I believe that he is a pragmatic businessman who does not accept the devastation of any war and my disappointment is that President Trump still does not find enough support in the EU for his peace efforts. Some European leaders refuse to accept the reality on the battlefield and this is also a big problem,” Radev commented.
