We need to strengthen security in the Black Sea, which is key for Bulgaria, Ukraine, Turkey and Romania. This was stated by Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba, BGNES reported.
Kuleva participated via video link in the second conference dedicated to security in the Black Sea, within the framework of the International Crimean Platform. The conference at the Central Military Club is jointly organized by the Ministries of Foreign Affairs and Defense of Bulgaria and the Ministries of Foreign Affairs and Defense of Ukraine, in partnership with the Center for Defense Strategies (Ukraine).
"We all want to see the region of peace, tranquillity and economic development. Unfortunately, Russia sees it as a place for war," Kuleba also said.
"It is critical that we maintain aid to Ukraine. Only the loss of Russia and the return of territorial integrity to Ukraine will ensure stability and peace," he added.
The diplomat again called on the partners to provide additional air defence systems.
"Russia is the problem because it started the war," Kuleba stressed.
He recalled the problems that followed the invasion of the entire world, including the rise in food prices, energy security problems, etc. /BGNES
