Sofia, March 12 (UNI) Bulgaria can host talks between Ukraine and Russia in a bid to the painful war, its President Rumen Radev said in remarks published on Saturday.
Bulgarian media quoted Radev as saying: “Bulgaria can legitimately claim to be a place for such talks but this should be done in coordination with the European Union.
“We are members of the EU and we should strive for a unified European solution, a unified European approach,” he said. On Friday, UK Minister of State for Europe and North America James Cleverly was in Bulgaria to discuss with his counterparts the crisis in Ukraine.
Cleverly said the UK and Bulgaria — as NATO allies — opposed Russia’s “unprovoked attack” on Ukraine, CNN reported. CNN quoted Cleverly as saying that Bulgaria was “one of the first countries to close its skies to Russian planes”.
