Sanctions against Russia prove their effectiveness, says Bulgarian foreign minister

Any peace agreement must be sustainable and fair, respecting the principles of international law. This was stated by Foreign Minister Georgy Georgiev in a videoconference meeting of the EU Foreign Affairs Council.

On August 11, the Council discussed diplomatic efforts to end Russian aggression in Ukraine and coordination with transatlantic partners at the upcoming August 15 meeting between the US and Russian presidents in Alaska, the Foreign Ministry announced.

In his statement, Minister Georgiev welcomed the US's firm commitment to ending hostilities and achieving peace through negotiations and indicated that until this is achieved, comprehensive support for Ukraine will continue. Peace is not simply the absence of war, but must be the basis for long-term stability, security and prosperity for both Ukraine and Europe, Georgiev added. He also indicated that the sanctions imposed on Russia are proving their effectiveness. Their upgrading should continue until the Russian military aggression against Ukraine is stopped.

The ministry points out that during the meeting, the current situation in the Middle East and the need to accelerate the provision of humanitarian aid, which is desperately needed for the civilian population in the Gaza Strip, were also discussed.
