“Logic does point to Russia, but the problem is that we cannot prove it.” Prime Minister Rumen Radev made the statement in Parliament in response to a question about the attacks on ships in the Black Sea.

“The government works with facts, not slogans,” Radev said, urging the opposition to present any evidence it might have, BGNES reported.
Regarding the strikes on Starlink facilities in Bulgaria, the prime minister said an investigation was under way and called for details not to be disclosed.
Bulgaria has discussed with Kyrylo Budanov, head of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s office, the possibility of supplying gas through Bulgarian infrastructure, as well as an option for jointly building a nuclear power plant at Belene, the prime minister also announced.
Oil supplies to the refinery in Burgas are not at risk at least until December, while the government is working to ensure safe navigation in the Black Sea, Radev said during his hearing before MPs.
