Currently, the Ukrainian Air Force defends not only the Ukrainian sky, but also protect neighboring Moldova, Romania and Poland from missiles. Therefore, it is quite logical to strengthen the Ukrainian air defense as soon as possible, and with it – regional and global stability. “Only the defeat of Russia and the full restoration of sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine will bring stability, security and the prospect of stronger economic development to the Black Sea region. Ukraine can achieve such a result with sufficient support. To bring that moment closer, we urgently need additional Patriot air defense systems and other advanced systems, weapons and ammunition. I use the opportunity once again to call on all our partners to take extraordinary and bold steps. This was said by Dmytro Kuleba, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine during the Second Black Sea Security Conference of the International Crimea Platform.
He stressed that it is important to maintain unity in support of Ukraine, as Russia sees the Black Sea region only as a place of war and its imperial ambitions.
"Investing in the security of the Black Sea region is investing in the Euro-Atlantic area for peace and freedom in the region and Europe," said Acting Minister of Foreign Affairs Stefan Dimitrov during the conference. "For more than two years, the world has been witnessing something unthinkable," the minister pointed out and noted Bulgaria's support for Ukraine.
