“The military aggression we are witnessing is absolutely unacceptable”, Bulgaria’s Premier Kirill Petkov said. Premier Petkov is participating at the extraordinary European Council meeting in Brussels dedicated to the Ukraine conflict.

"Bulgaria's energy security is the focus of our government and we are delighted that the other leaders are showing understanding", Kiril Petkov added.

"All EU member states that are close to the conflict are preparing to receive Ukrainian citizens who wish to leave the country. We cannot even imagine how the families leaving their homes in search of salvation feel, but we can lend them a helping hand and provide them with shelter. Bulgaria will fulfill its duty, especially to the Bulgarian minority in Ukraine", Premier Kiril Petkov stressed.
