If someone is too stupid to attack us, we will fight back. We will stop the attack, we will take away their opportunity to achieve their goals, whatever they may be. If the attack continues, we will crush it and prevent the enemy's advance. The Supreme Commander of NATO forces in Europe, American General Alexus Grinkevich, stated that he does not consider the conflict to be "imminent or inevitable," but that deterring it requires "readiness to conduct combat operations." #ЕнергийноПримирие #Русия #Украйна (translated)

Bulgaria requested technical assistance from the EU and NATO for the investigation of the drone attack on commercial ships in the Black Sea, with Prime Minister Rumen Radev emphasizing the need for allied support and the identification of those responsible for the attack. #РуменРадев #България #ЧерноМоре (translated)

Later, however, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky reported that the Russian occupiers had launched a targeted attack on a power plant in Kharkiv immediately after the President of the United States announced the energy ceasefire agreement. #Русия #Украйна #ЕнергийноПримирие (translated)

If someone is foolish enough to attack us, we will fight back. We will repel the attack and prevent them from achieving their goals, whatever they may be. In short, we will ensure that any attack against any ally is completely futile. Grinkevich stated that a massive counterattack will be delivered far beyond the area of the attack if an assault occurs. #НАТО #Русия #сигурност (translated)

The sanctions list has been expanded to include 743 individuals and 826 legal entities that contribute to Russia's aggressive war against Ukraine through their activities. This is the largest expansion of the EU sanctions list to date. Thus, the EU is increasing pressure on Russia and limiting its capabilities to continue the war. According to Foreign Minister Margus Tsahkna, this shows that Europe is staying the course and continuing to intensify sanctions pressure on Russia. In recent weeks, Russia has become even more brutal in its attacks and continues to demonstrate that it is not ready for peace. In the lead-up to the fifth military winter, Ukraine needs both military and economic and political support, and Europe is continuing to act to provide the necessary assistance. Estonia believes that to cover Ukraine's financial needs, frozen Russian assets in Europe should be utilized. First, it is necessary to hold those responsible for all attacks accountable, as this will help deter individuals who are recruited to carry them out. Second, opportunities for Russian citizens to travel to Europe must be limited. We need to put an end to the situation where more than half a million visas are issued annually to Russian citizens for entry into the Schengen area. The expansion of the EU will make the union stronger and enhance its security. By admitting neighboring countries that share our values into the union, we will reduce the opportunities for third countries to harm our neighbors through disinformation campaigns and other influence activities. #санкции #Россия #Украина (translated)

Defense Minister Dimitar Stoyanov stated that no new military operations in the Black Sea are planned following the attack on two ships, with additional actions expected from the Ministry of Transport and an increase in surveillance from NATO. #ЧерноМоре #ВоеннаСигурност #НАТО (translated)

This was stated by President Iliyana Yotova in an interview with bTV. There will be a note, diplomatic negotiations, and everything necessary in such a situation, as the National Security Advisory Council sharply condemned this attack, emphasized Yotova. Attacks on ships in the Black Sea have become too frequent, and we must be cautious about when we activate Article 4 of the treaty with the Alliance, so that the text of the pact is not devalued, Yotova explained. Iliyana Yotova added that what Bulgaria has requested from the EU is a more precise specificity for the newly adopted strategy for the Black Sea, as well as Bulgaria having the opportunity to access all video surveillance systems that the EU possesses. Yotova also stated that Bulgaria can participate very actively in a coalition for peace. Yotova pointed out that she is considering three options for the war in Ukraine - based on small steps in an agreement for the Black Sea or an energy truce, a truce that is linked to a European proposal on the negotiating table with all the proposals that the EU can make, and multi-layered diplomacy for genuine peace. Yotova stated that she has seen the footage of the beating carried out by the perpetrator Ognyan Atanasov, also known as "The Petritch Escobar" in the central Sofia prison. #Дронове #ЧерноМоре #България (translated)
