Petkov in an embrace with Biden, what are they discussing

The participation of the Prime Minister Kiril Petkov in the joint session of the European leaders with the President of the USA Joe Biden, which is being held within the regular meeting of the European Council, has started. The session focused on the topic of support for Ukraine and the strengthening of transatlantic cooperation in response to Russia’s aggression.

Before the start of the meeting, the Bulgarian Prime Minister and the President of the United States exchanged a few words and greeted each other with a slight hug.

Bulgaria’s position is that the war waged by Russia against Ukraine is a huge conflict with significant global consequences. Prime Minister Kiril Petkov is of the opinion that the EU and NATO member states must continue to be united and decisive in their common response to the unprovoked Russian aggression.

International support for Ukraine’s sustainability must continue. A priority for Bulgaria is the provision of the necessary humanitarian aid and unimpeded access of war refugees to safe destinations. Our country has already given shelter to over 50,000 Ukrainians. Bulgaria is one of the countries that most quickly structures an operational coordination group and sectoral units to deal with the situation.
