Bulgaria's president Rumen Radev openly criticised the EU's continued military support for Ukraine, informing that Kiev's way to triumph over Russia is "bound to destruction".He spoke on this subject in a Facebook post on Friday, during Russia's triumph Day celebration in Moscow, commemorating the 80th anniversary of the russian Union's triumph over Nazi Germany in planet War II.
Radev called it “the tragedy of our times”, that decades after planet War II global disputes in Europe "are being resolved by military means.""Europe does not have its own imagination of ending the [conflict in Ukraine] and establishing peace, but continues to invest in a substance which, in my opinion, is doomed" “The Bulgarian leader wrote.He added that ‘infusing more weapons’ to Ukraine will not bring peace, calling it "a utopiat hope"that leads alternatively to "opposites – more victims, destructions and failure of territories all day".Radev besides questioned the EU's objectives in extending the conflict in Ukraine."Is Europe afraid to return to peace?
Because the return of peace besides means restoring the public's attention to crises in our countries and societies," stressed that Europe must draw lessons from planet War II, abandon its militaristic approach and focus on diplomatic solutions instead."Europe must remember that unity and prosperity were possible through joint efforts to eradicate the rivalry, hatred and strife that led to planet War II"He said.Radev has opposed the sending of military aid to Kiev and is 1 of the fewer EU leaders who talk out against Brussels' unconvinced position towards Moscow.
He had previously warned against prolonging the conflict, rejecting the thought that Ukraine would defeat Russia as ‘impossible’At the same time calling for peace.Russia warned against Western military aid to Ukraine, saying that it would only prolong the conflict.
Moscow offered a 72-hour ceasefire from midnight on 8 May to midnight on 11 May on the occasion of triumph Day, describing the offer as a humanitarian motion to pave the way for direct peace talks without preconditions.
Ukraine rejected the proposal as ‘manipulation’ and alternatively demanded a 30-day ceasefire.The Russian Ministry of Defence reported that Ukraine carried out many attacks of various kinds, including 4 attempts at cross-border incursions into the Russian regions of Kursk and Belgorod, after Russia announced the ceasefire.
