"We are paying the most terrible price": Ukraine addresses Bulgaria after its peace talk statement

The Embassy of Ukraine in Bulgaria called on officials and political forces to refrain from using the war for political purposes. They emphasized that Ukrainians pay the worst price every day for deterring the aggressor.

The statement was published by the Embassy's press service. "Calls to limit or block aid to Ukraine practically mean an incentive to assist the aggressor state. Slowing down or restricting the provision of necessary assistance to Ukraine will lead not to peace but to more casualties and the frontline moving closer to the EU's borders," they emphasized.

On the other hand, increasing defense assistance to Ukraine will help strengthen security in the entire region, restore respect for international law and move towards a just peace.

The Embassy added that Ukraine, together with its allies, is actively working to implement President Zelenskyy's Peace Formula. The Ukrainian side expresses its gratitude to the Republic of Bulgaria, in particular to Prime Minister Dimitar Glavchev, for participating in the Peace Summit in Switzerland on June 15-16.

"Only through joint efforts can and should the international community force the aggressor to stop the war and restore peace. Restoration of security is possible only through joint efforts too," the statement reads.

It is noted that Ukraine highly appreciates and is grateful to the Republic of Bulgaria, the National Assembly and the Government for supporting Ukraine in all spheres: political, financial, energy, humanitarian and defense.

"This is a significant contribution to our common victory, confirmation of historically friendly Ukrainian-Bulgarian relations and mutual assistance in difficult times. Expressing its gratitude, the Embassy of Ukraine calls for the consolidation of all political forces and civil society to strengthen assistance to Ukraine to restore sustainable peace and justice," the press service summarized.
