Kiril Petkov calls for firm measures against Russian ambassador following attacks on ships
Published
Former Bulgarian Prime Minister Kiril Petkov has issued a serious demand to state institutions regarding the escalation of tensions in the Black Sea. His position was prompted by the increasing frequency of attacks on merchant ships, which are threatening security in the region.
Petkov insists on issuing an ultimatum to the Russian ambassador in Sofia, Eleonora Mitrofanova. According to him, if further strikes against vessels occur, the diplomat should be forced to leave the country. This demand is driven by the need for Bulgaria to take a more definitive stance regarding the security of maritime routes.
In addition to personal measures against Russian diplomats, Kiril Petkov is also calling for a more active foreign policy by our country within international organizations. He emphasizes that Bulgaria must seek a unified and decisive response from NATO and the European Union.
Within the framework of this strategy, the discussion of additional economic sanctions against Russia is envisioned. The goal of these measures is to exert stronger pressure on Moscow to cease military actions that directly affect the economic interests and stability of Bulgaria and its allies.
At present, the topic remains a subject of debate in political circles, and it is expected to be seen how the government will react to these proposals in the context of the complex geopolitical situation.
