The West must be ready for new provocations from Russia, warned in an interview with BNR Daniel Fried, former US Assistant Secretary of State.

"I think Putin is trying to intimidate, use "disguise" and pressure the West to accept Russian control over Ukraine and return Russian control over other Central and Eastern European countries. It depends on Bulgaria whether it will be among them. What matters is what Bulgaria wants. We will not have anything in Bulgaria without its approval. But the Biden administration has already announced that it will work in this direction if necessary and will consult with NATO and all the Bucharest Nine countries," commented Fried.
