Rumen Radev stated that Bulgaria supports any coalition aimed at quickly ending the Russian war against Ukraine through diplomacy. He pointed out that the country has not severed diplomatic relations with Russia and that a few days ago he invited the Russian ambassador for talks to halt strikes against ships in the Black Sea. According to Radev, this communication channel should be expanded with specific measures and proposals. Radev said that Bulgaria participates in the anti-mine group in the Black Sea and was among the first countries to join the "European Sky Shield" initiative after it was announced by Germany in 2022. He condemned the attacks on civilian and commercial vessels as unacceptable and proposed a moratorium on military strikes against shipping in the Black Sea, stating that he expects support from EU partners. He noted that the sea is an important corridor for the delivery of food, fertilizers, and energy resources, upon which millions of people rely, especially in vulnerable regions of Africa and the Middle East. According to Radev, the "Chelsea 3" vessel was supposed to be towed the same afternoon to the port of Burgas for repairs and checks for drone remnants. He stated that Bulgaria has hypotheses regarding the perpetrator of the attack, but clear and solid evidence is needed before a specific country is blamed. Radev stated that he does not support military strikes on refineries and energy facilities in Ukraine and Russia, as he believes they directly affect fuel prices and the competitiveness of the EU. He pointed out that over the last two decades, Europe has shut down a number of refineries and is now dependent on imports of finished fuels, particularly diesel and aviation fuel. According to him, the shortage of aviation fuel in Europe has led to the doubling of its price within a few months. He said that Bulgaria supports the construction of new energy corridors between Europe and the Middle East to ensure reliable supplies at competitive prices. Regarding the new Multiannual Financial Framework of the EU, Radev said that Bulgaria supports efforts to enhance the competitiveness of European economies. He added that this should not be at the expense of EU policies for social and economic convergence and the Common Agricultural Policy. #ЧерноМоре (translated)

This was stated by President Iliyana Yotova in an interview with bTV. There will be a note, diplomatic negotiations, and everything necessary in such a situation, as the National Security Advisory Council sharply condemned this attack, emphasized Yotova. Attacks on ships in the Black Sea have become too frequent, and we must be cautious about when we activate Article 4 of the treaty with the Alliance, so that the text of the pact is not devalued, Yotova explained. Iliyana Yotova added that what Bulgaria has requested from the EU is a more precise specificity for the newly adopted strategy for the Black Sea, as well as Bulgaria having the opportunity to access all video surveillance systems that the EU possesses. Yotova also stated that Bulgaria can participate very actively in a coalition for peace. Yotova pointed out that she is considering three options for the war in Ukraine - based on small steps in an agreement for the Black Sea or an energy truce, a truce that is linked to a European proposal on the negotiating table with all the proposals that the EU can make, and multi-layered diplomacy for genuine peace. Yotova stated that she has seen the footage of the beating carried out by the perpetrator Ognyan Atanasov, also known as "The Petritch Escobar" in the central Sofia prison. #Дронове #ЧерноМоре #България (translated)

"I am an advocate for doing everything possible as soon as possible to have a coalition for peace - a European proposal in which Bulgaria actively participates, so that we can also propose a text for peace in Ukraine, to end the hostilities with the participation of all parties," said Yotova. #МорскаСигурност #Дипломация #ВойнаВУкрайна (translated)

"The United List" received the largest support in the elections, significantly ahead of its competitors. However, this does not change the essence of the matter, emphasized Rinkevich: Kulbergs can begin the formation of a coalition and government. #Латвия #премьерминистр #коалиция (translated)

Празният стол на България вече се мести от среща на среща. Първо Румен Радев извади България от "Коалицията на желаещите". После останахме извън европейската инициатива FREYJA за изграждане на противобалистична отбрана. Днес министърът на отбраната Стоянов обяви, че България няма #България #отбрана #РуменРадев #BG
