Iliyana Yotova: Our categorical position for Ukraine is peace through negotiations
Our categorical position for Ukraine is peace through negotiations, as soon as possible. The security architecture of Europe passes through common peace. We will never be part of the warmongers in Bulgaria. This was stated by the presidential candidate Iliyana Yotova at a meeting with citizens in Pazardzhik. According to her, her opponents with Kiril Valchev are warmongers who want more funds for weapons for Ukraine so that the war can continue.

After nearly five years of war, the whole of Europe is exhausted - lack of fuel supplies, high prices”, she emphasized.
