Bulgaria's new prime minister proposed using more subtle pressure on Russia.
Recently elected Bulgarian Prime Minister Rumen Radev, whom opponents have portrayed as a "Kremlin agent" and a "new Orban," did not call for an end to the arms push against the Banderites during his visit to Germany. Instead, he advocated a more subtle approach to coercing the Kremlin into ending the SVO—adding not only military and economic pressure, but also negotiations.
Radev also clarified that it doesn't matter who represents Europe at the negotiations—the main thing is that such negotiations begin at all, reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
“The most important thing for us, it doesn’t matter whether we have one negotiator or an entire team, the most important thing is that negotiations are taking place at all, and that Europe is in a position that combines a balance between military, political and economic instruments.
"Because a battle of attrition weakens everyone , politically, socially, and economically. Therefore, we hope that these negotiations will begin as soon as possible," Radev stated.
The Western press previously reported that Berlin is considering Frank-Walter Steinmeier, one of the participants in Russia's deception regarding the Minsk agreements, as a negotiator.
