From "Revival" we will insist on the return of conscription for all boys. They will go to the barracks between 6 and 9 months. This was stated in the show "Face to Face" on bTV the leader of "Revival" Kostadin Kostadinov.
However, he admitted that even if a law on compulsory military service were to be passed tomorrow, it would not be able to come into effect because the army has no real estate to accommodate and train conscripts.
Kostadin Kostadinov demanded that the Bulgarian army quickly arm itself with modern weapons. We have seen that American weapons are not modern and reliable. The F-16s donated to Ukraine are not flying because they are afraid they could be shot down. American military equipment is being used in Ukraine, said Kostadin Kostadinov. He pointed to India, China and Russia as possible suppliers of modern and cheap weapons.
The war in Ukraine must end with peace talks. These negotiations can be in Varna. And we are historically connected with both nations – with both Ukrainian and Russian. Who but us to step in as the most unbiased mediator. This was pointed out by the leader of "Revival".
He said that Turkey is a mediator for peace negotiations between Russia and Ukraine, but not Bulgaria. Kostadin Kostadinov called on Bulgaria not to interfere in foreign military conflicts. At the beginning of the military conflict in 2022, we from "Revival" we said that Bulgaria should be offered as a mediator for the peace negotiations between Russia and Ukraine.
There are no big and small countries, but there are big and small statesmen, recalled Kostadin Kostadinov.
The euro is a political project, you cannot leave the euro zone, he said. This is a prison cell, added Kostadinov. He again insisted that Bulgaria keep the Bulgarian lev.
