This is how the Ukrainian embassy reacted to the statement by Bulgaria's interim prime minister Dimitar Glavchev that at the NATO summit in Washington, D.C., the country will propose to start peace talks between Ukraine and Russia.
The Ukrainian ministry noted that calls to limit assistance to Ukraine will not lead to peace. Only increased defense assistance to Ukraine will help strengthen security in the entire region, restore respect for international law, and bring about a just peace.
"Calls to limit or block aid to Ukraine practically mean encouragement to assist the aggressor state. Slowing down or restricting the provision of necessary assistance to Ukraine will not lead to peace, but to more casualties and bringing the frontline closer to the EU's borders," the statement said.
The embassy reminded that Ukraine, together with its allies, is working to implement the peace formula of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. In particular, the Ukrainian side is grateful to Bulgaria and Prime Minister Glavchev for participating in the Peace Summit in Switzerland on June 15 and 16.
