Rumen Radev: Bulgaria's reaction to the events in Russia should be to strengthen its defence capacity within NATO

"The situation in Russia is dynamic. We need to know the real reasons for what is happening - whether Prigozhin's goal is the overthrow of Putin or his old quarrels with the Ministry of Defense and the struggle for supremacy at the front". 

This was stated by President Rumen Radev before the start of the Wachau forum in Austria regarding the operation of the Russian private military group "Wagner" dubbed by its leader Yevgeny Prigozhin as "March for Justice". 


According to the Bulgarian head of state, what is happening in Russia will affect the dynamics of the conflict in Ukraine. According to him, it is no longer just an internal political problem, because potential military actions on the territory of Russia are also involved.  "Bulgaria's reaction should be to strengthen its defense capacity within NATO," the president also said.

Bulgaria's Foreign Ministry announced that the authorities are monitoring the situation in Russia. More information is expected to be released later today.
"If necessary, Bulgaria must withdraw the Bulgarians from Russia," commented Vice President Iliana Iotova. She expressed hope that our foreign ministry is in constant contact with the Bulgarian diplomatic mission in Moscow. "Unfortunately, the war has reached a stage where it will be very difficult to go back. I continue to believe that a world forum is needed to address the conflict in Ukraine," said Vice President Iliana Iotova.
