PM Kiril Petkov expects parliament to approve military aid for Ukraine

“Among the rubble left of this apartment building there were toys. How can you say this is a military operation when the apartments of peaceful civilians are being destroyed? These people were targeted, without any reason whatsoever. In this town there is not a single military facility, there was absolutely nothing, just peaceful population,” said Bulgaria’s Prime Minister Kiril Petkov in Borodyanka, a town in the outskirts of Kyiv freed from Russian occupation, which he visited as part of the visit by a Bulgarian government delegation to Ukraine.

“What we are hearing being said is: Do not help Ukraine so peace can come quicker. If the Russian side continues the bombardment, and if no one is able to defend themselves, is that the kind of peace we want? (…) That is not the position of the democratic world, it cannot be the position of Bulgaria,” Kiril Petkov said further. /BGNES
