As a NATO ally and a member of the European Union, Bulgaria will always support Romania’s actions to defend its territory and the lives of its citizens, the head of state writes.

The Russian Federation's insistence on the withdrawal of NATO forces from Bulgaria is unacceptable and pointless. There are no permanently based allied contingents and combat equipment in this country.
The sovereign decision on such a permanent presence or temporary deployment is taken by Bulgaria, in accordance with its allied commitments.
Bulgaria does not accept ultimatum demands from anyone.
