"The celebration of Ukraine's Independence Day is an expression of Bulgaria's solidarity with the Ukrainian people's aspiration for freedom, peace and stability," commented the Speaker of the National Assembly Raya Nazaryan. According to her, our country is among the strongest and most active supporters of Ukraine in its just cause to determine its own path to prosperity and development.

The Speaker of the Parliament assured that Bulgaria would continue to support the Ukrainian people in their efforts to defend the freedom, independence and territorial integrity of their country.
