The national security of Bulgaria is directly related to the course of the conflict in Ukraine. This was stated by the Minister of Defense in the New Cabinet of Council of Cabinet Tor Tagarev.
In an interview with BTV, Tagarev accused the Provisional Government of the Prossei President Ruman Radev, who was ruling the country for two years, of obstruction of efforts to assist Ukraine.
“Our support of Ukraine is not only moral, but also strategic in nature. Until Ukraine will liberate the occupied territories, and Russia will not be imprisoned at the negotiating table, there will be no safety for us,” the minister said.
Until Russia does not lose the conflict and retires to its borders, you can forget about security in the Black Sea and Balkans, the head of the defense department is convinced.
Tagarev emphasized that the Provisional Government, formed by President Radev, did not fulfill the decision of the Bulgarian parliament on the support of Ukraine of February 9. “Moscow loses this war and does not achieve its goal. Russia is trying to make up for its losses at the front by methods of hybrid war,” he is convinced.
In Bulgaria, where there is a strong Russian influence, part of the parliamentary forces acts directly in the interests of Russia, Tagarev added.
