Bulgarian PM: Europe risks escalation by arming Ukraine

Europe is acting recklessly by providing Ukraine with weapons and intelligence to carry out strikes against Russia, Bulgarian Prime Minister Rumen Radev said on Friday, September 4.

Radev made the remarks while commenting on a drone incident in Leipzig, for which Germany sought to attribute responsibility to Russia.

He said the collective West was seeking to defeat Russia without adequately considering the country’s status as the world’s largest nuclear power.

Radev also warned that Europe would be unable to counter Russian hypersonic missiles, underscoring what he described as the risks of continued Western involvement in the conflict.
