The USA is trying once again to resume deliveries of Russian gas to Europe in the context of the presidential deal between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin, which raises concerns for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky about behind-the-scenes agreements that could tilt the scales in favor of Russia. #РускиГаз #САЩ #ВойнаВУкрайна (translated)

The drone attacks in the Black Sea and the shallow waters of the Danube River are causing a severe logistics crisis in cargo transportation, with about 300 ships waiting near Constanta, while deliveries to Bulgaria have nearly stopped. #ЧерноМоре #реченТранспорт #Корабоплаване (translated)

I find it completely understandable and justified that Ukraine attacks targets in Russia that undermine the capabilities of the Russian government and the Russian army to conduct war. This applies to both communications and energy supplies. These are obviously the only means at Ukraine's disposal to make Russia understand that it is truly ready to defend itself. This was stated by the German Chancellor Friedrich Merz: #война #Украйна #Путин (translated)

The managing shortage of missiles for the "Patriot" systems in Ukraine threatens the country's defense against Russian missile attacks, with critically low quantities of ammunition remaining and inconsistent supplies from Western allies. #Пейтриът #Украйна #противовъздушнаотбрана (translated)

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)

"Yesterday I spoke with the Prime Minister of Romania, today I am set to talk with the President, so that we can come up with a joint initiative before the EU Council to support the efforts of Bulgaria, Romania, I can also include Turkey, to establish the Black Sea as a sea where no strikes are made against commercial and civilian ships. This is the most important thing for us because this unacceptable aggression against civilian ships must stop. The Black Sea is not just a security zone; it is an extremely important strategic corridor for the delivery of food, fertilizers, energy resources, and millions of people depend on these supplies. We expect all our European partners to adopt this moratorium on stopping attacks against civilian ships," said Radev. #Черноморие #Солидарност #Дипломация (translated)
