Bulgaria for Peace in Ukraine: Zhelyazkov on European Security and Guarantees for Kyiv

Ukraine's security is an integral part of Europe's security. As a member of the European Union and NATO, Bulgaria is ready to actively participate in finding solutions for peace and stability. This was stated by Prime Minister Rosen Zhelyazkov during today's informal meeting of the heads of state and government of the EU, the press service of the Council of Ministers reported.

In this context, the Prime Minister emphasized the need to maintain the impetus for achieving peace through close coordination between the US, the EU, and Ukraine. He welcomed the consistent efforts of the United States to cease fire and establish a just and lasting peace, noting that without the active participation of the EU and Ukraine, achieving this goal is impossible.

According to Zhelyazkov, the approach to the negotiations and their results will have profound and long-term consequences for both European and global security. The Ukrainian people must determine their own future, the Prime Minister emphasized.

“We must continue to work jointly with our partners from the US and Ukraine to ensure that any future peace agreement will be respected,” Rosen Zhelyazkov was categorical. He added that Ukraine needs reliable guarantees for its long-term security. During the meeting, the Prime Minister also emphasized the importance of the country's European integration.

Yesterday, American and Ukrainian representatives met in Geneva to discuss the peace proposal put forward by the administration of US President Donald Trump. Following the negotiations between the delegations, Ukraine and the US announced in a published joint statement an “updated and improved” framework for peace.
