At the upcoming NATO summit in Washington, Bulgaria will make a proposal to start peace talks between Russia and Ukraine. This was announced by acting Prime Minister Dimitar Glavchev, UNN reports with reference to Novinite.
"I sincerely believe that we should be in favor of peace talks, mediated by Bulgaria . What could be better than that? And that is what I will propose; there is no problem with that," Glavchev stated.
Glavchev, however, expressed skepticism about Bulgaria's chances of being accepted as a mediator.
"Nothing could be better. I will present a good proposal, but for us to be recognized as mediators, we need agreement. It is important to emphasize that these peace talks must comply with the UN Charter and international law. These are conditions that, in my opinion, are non-negotiable," Glavchev said.

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban asked President Vladimir Zelensky to consider whether a ceasefire and negotiations could be initiated.
NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg saidthat it is up to Ukraine to decide what conditions are acceptable for peace talks. He also added that Alliance members will help Ukraine strengthen its position because there is a very strong link between what happens at the negotiating table and the situation on the battlefield.
