"I have a very important comment - yesterday it was good to hold this hearing on NATO, it was helpful. The largest equipment of military aircraft was made during our rule. The attempt to scare the Bulgarians that they will hardly go to fight in Ukraine is ridiculous. I said a million times that our soldiers will not go there.
This is what GERB leader Boyko Borisov said to journalists, quoted by novini.bg.
And he stressed: "Bulgarian soldiers will defend only the territory of Bulgaria".
"Yesterday, a new kind of insinuation was made that Bulgaria will give cash to Ukraine. We have always been adamant about peace. To implement all diplomatic ways to achieve peace, he explained.
"That's why these summits are, that's why we're partners, different countries have different points of view. It is not by chance that Viktor Orban went to Ukraine - persistent negotiations are underway to stop this bloodshed", he added.
"At the moment, what Bulgaria will represent at the summit is not about cash, it is not a question of that at all. Even now, Bulgaria receives money for the old Soviet military equipment. And not only do we not give cash, we get cash. Do you see? "All democratic countries sided with the attacked, not the aggressor", summed up the GERB leader.
"On no occasion and I have no business meeting Ahmed Dogan", Borisov was categorical.
