Prime Minister of Bulgaria: Ukraine will not be able to withstand Russian strikes by ballistic missiles and drones this winter
The Bulgarian Prime Minister said that the scale of Russian attacks could seriously affect Ukraine's energy, industry, and frontline logistics.
This was said by Rumen Radev at the Euronews defense summit in Brussels.
According to the Bulgarian prime minister, Ukraine this winter will face significant difficulties due to Russian ballistic missiles and unmanned aerial vehicles. He noted that shooting down such drones with small arms or portable air defense complexes is no longer possible.
“This is a huge challenge, and if the situation does not change, the consequences will be felt everywhere—from industrial centers deep inside the country to the front line,” Radev said.
He also noted that one of the consequences of massive Russian attacks could be a complication of ensuring proper logistics for Ukrainian troops at the front.
Radev added that the war in Ukraine is putting daily pressure on the social and economic systems of European countries. According to him, it is necessary to find a way to end the war as soon as possible and to combine military, economic, and diplomatic tools.
