It is unacceptable to present the continuation of the war in Ukraine and the impossible victory over Russia as the only possible solution, President Rumen Radev told journalists in Yambol. According to him, every day of the war is disastrous and it affects all the elections in the world.


"We will choose in the upcoming and the next elections between war and peace. Every citizen of ours is obliged to take account of this", emphasized the head of state. According to Rumen Radev, it is extremely dangerous for passions between Russia and Ukraine to flare up in Europe as well, and for voices for peace to be met with shots. 

"The attempt to assassinate a European prime minister by a radicalized fanatic because of his support for peace is indicative of this instilled intolerance towards foreign opinion and hatred," he commented on the assassination attempt against Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico.

Rumen Radev called for a voice of reason and diplomatic efforts for peace, not for a continuous flow of weapons.
