Minister of Defence Dimitar Stoyanov expresses reservations regarding the EU's position on the Black Sea incident
Published
Bulgarian Minister of Defence Dimitar Stoyanov has expressed doubt regarding the official position of the European Union concerning recent incidents in the Black Sea. According to institutions in Brussels, Russian drones are responsible for the damage to four merchant ships near Bulgarian territorial waters.
Minister Stoyanov stated that he does not fully accept the conclusions of the European partners. He emphasized that Bulgarian security services continue to analyze the information in order to definitively establish the origin of the unmanned aerial vehicles involved in the attack.
Security in the Black Sea remains a top priority for the Bulgarian government due to the proximity of military operations to our borders. The incidents involving merchant vessels are raising serious concerns about the safety of navigation in the region and the stability of maritime trade routes.
Currently, the Ministry of Defence is working in close cooperation with international partners and NATO allies to monitor the situation in real time. The goal is to ensure that Bulgaria's maritime borders remain protected and that there is no direct threat to the population.
More details are expected to be presented in the coming days once the investigation is concluded. Authorities are urging citizens to rely only on officially confirmed information to avoid the spread of speculation on the topic.
