Ministry of Foreign Affairs

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is monitoring the situation with the stranded 30 Bulgarian citizens who are in Volos, Greece. This was stated by the Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Mariya Gabriel.

Bulgaria is in constant contact with the Greek authorities, she noted:

The Bulgarian government decided at its meeting today that Bulgaria will provide new humanitarian aid to Ukraine in the amount of 293,376 leva due to Russia's ongoing aggression. The funds come from the budget of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The pro-Russian party "Vazrazhdane" categorically denied the claim of the British publication "Daily Telegraph" that the Bulgarians accused of espionage for the benefit of Russia are probably connected to the party. The "Daily Telegraph" also indicates that the three arrested were part of an international group for monitoring persons who are on the Kremlin's enemy list.

The road to peace in Ukraine goes through the restoration of compliance with the UN Charter and international law. The parties participating in the consultations on the basic principles for achieving peace, held in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, at the level of national security advisers and political advisers, were united around this conclusion, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced.
