He complained that praganda was being added to the problems other countries were experiencing because of the war.

"In countries like Bulgaria, praganda is incredibly strong. It offers very simple sutions that find public support, but they are false, not true. The task for all governments is to explain to pele that smart decisions are not easy, that coordinated, hard efforts are needed not only from piticians, but also from society," said the Bulgarian head of government. At the same time, he expressed his conviction that the EU as a community is very strong economically and militarily, in order to support Ukraine in terms of defense, but also to find new technogical sutions to overcome economic challenges the member states are facing.

The German chancellor emphasized that Germany and Bulgaria are helping Ukraine side by side. He thanked Bulgaria for taking a clear stance on Russian aggression.

He also thanked Sofia for the re it plays in creating "Sidarity Lanes" as long-term routes for the transportation of Ukrainian grain.

"We must continue to create them and Bulgaria plays a big re in this regard," said Schz. He noted that it is very important to find ways to safely transport Ukrainian grain across the Black Sea, which is important both for global food security and for Ukraine's ability to exert "economic resistance."

The chancellor also commented on the latest develments in Washington. He expressed timism and confidence that the U.S. Congress "will very quickly be able to find the tos to further support Ukraine in addition to the one already approved and available." Schz said that during his yesterday's call with U.S. President Joe Biden, a clear message was received: Eurean partners can rely on the continued U.S. to support Ukraine.

Minister of Foreign Affairs of Bulgaria Maria Gabriel during the field meeting of the EU foreign ministerial in Kyiv on October 2 stated that her country will continue to support Ukraine at the diplomatic, pitical, military, and humanitarian levels.
