During the visit of the Bulgarian delegation to Kyiv, authorities in the Ukrainian capital will ask Bulgaria to provide weapons, Deputy Prime Minister of Ukraine Olha Stefanishyna said in a video message to The EU Meets the Balkans Forum. She added that Ukraine expects to receive Bulgaria's support for EU Membership. Meanwhile, Bulgarian Minister of Foreign Affairs Teodora Genchovska said that Bulgaria hopes that the European Commission would recommend granting Ukraine the status of a candidate country for EU membership as soon as possible.

"Russia has been violating international law and there are no guarantees that the international order will be preserved," Minister Genchovska said during the forum. According to her, the methods of war and cruelty against the Ukrainian population are an attempt to forcefully restrict the right of an independent state to determine its future.
