“Our predictions are that no large-scale military conflict should be expected in the short term.”
“A large-scale Russian offensive is unrealistic in the coming months.”
“Full-scale military conflict should not be expected.”
“We do not share the assessment of a large-scale refugee wave.”
These conclusions from the special services were heard by the deputies at the closed session in January before the start of the war in Ukraine, the Deputy Speaker of the Parliament and Co-Chairman of “Democratic Bulgaria” Gen. Atanas Atanasov.
So he illustrated that our services did not provide reliable, verified and accurate information. “In this situation, it is good for the Bulgarian services to act in coordination, but in order to be able to make the right decisions at a high state level, it is important for the Council of Ministers and other bodies to receive reliable information from the security services,” Atanasov said. reliable sources, or what they shared with the National Assembly was misleading.
In order to clarify the truth and expect changes in the work of the intelligence agencies, the DB said that they would seek answers through parliamentary control. The formation did not demand the resignation of the bosses, although in December Atanasov insisted to the president to change the leadership.
“Yesterday I do not know on what occasion, Rumen Radev said full support for the services. Maybe because the current chiefs are his appointments, but according to Article 105, paragraph 2 of the constitution, the Council of Ministers is the one that ensures public order and security.” Atanasov commented on the president’s words from yesterday.
He explained that our services described as exaggerated the statements of heads of state a month ago, in which they warned that after the Winter Olympics, Russia would invade Ukraine.
