I had a conversation with Prime Minister of Bulgaria Rosen Zhelyazkov. We discussed strengthening energy cooperation and agreed on steps that will help energy security in our region. There are concrete solutions, and we will definitely implement them.
According to the president, one of the key topics was defense cooperation, particularly within the framework of the European SAFE instrument, which opens up new opportunities for joint production of defense products.
I offered Mr. Prime Minister joint production projects, including those related to increasing the level of security in the Black Sea. Bulgaria is interested in cooperation with Ukraine. We agreed that our teams will work out all the details.
The conversation was a continuation of Kyiv's active dialogue with EU member states on strengthening security in the southeastern direction and developing joint energy initiatives.
