“Our gratitude to the Russian people for the Liberation cannot be underestimated by comparisons with today's fratricidal war in Ukraine,” he stressed.

Kiril Petkov insisted that the embassy of the Russian Federation not interfere in Bulgaria's domestic policy, in accordance with international conventions. The Prime Minister welcomed the intention of the Russian Ambassador to set a constructive tone from now on. He called for an end to the war and a return to dialogue.
