The international community should focus on ending the war in Ukraine and on finding a peaceful solution through political means, President Rumen Radev said before the start of the Munich Security Conference.

"The big challenge for the international community is to ensure that the war in Europe is not accepted as a normal phenomenon. The deep contradictions between Russia and Ukraine will be hard to resolve through war. Unfortunately, the calls from both sides for victory, regardless of the casualties and the destruction, are increasingly drowning out the calls for peace. In the midst of the war in Ukraine, the Munich Security Conference reminds participants of its motto – “building peace through dialogue”. The spill-over effects of this war are holding hostage the economic and social systems of all European countries", President Radev said.
