Rusia laudă guvernul Bulgariei pentru că și-a diminuat sprijinul pentru Ucraina. Premierul Rumen Radev este pro-rus
The Bulgarian government led by Rumen Radev has received praise from Moscow for refusing to join the coalition supporting Ukraine against Russian invasion. Following Radev's rise to power, Bulgaria's official rhetoric regarding Russia and the Ukraine crisis has become more restrained. However, Moscow believes it is too early to discuss restoring mutually beneficial cooperation with Bulgaria due to Sofia's political dependence on Brussels. Radev announced in July that Bulgaria would not participate in the 'Coalition of Will'.
