Bulgaria also recognized Ukraine's progress towards Euro-Atlantic integration, committed to bolstering efforts to support Ukraine's integration into NATO and the implementation of alliance standards, and voiced support for the Ukraine-NATO Council.
Bulgaria reaffirmed its willingness to continue political and material support for Ukraine – both within NATO and on a bilateral basis. It also indicated its readiness to participate in Ukraine's post-war reconstruction.
Zelenskyy visited Bulgaria on July 6. He and Dimitrov discussed joint energy projects, as well as Kyiv’s NATO aspirations. The Bulgarian PM also supported Zelenskyy’s peace formula, saying that the war must end with Russian troops withdrawing from all of Ukraine.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
