Bulgaria allowed the blocking of arms supplies to Ukraine.

The new composition of the European Parliament can block arms supplies to Ukraine and lift sanctions from Russia, Bulgarian candidate for European Parliament Todor Angelov said.

“This moment will not be the same as today, in the future parliament. Arms supplies to Ukraine may be blocked. Because if you look only at Europe and purely economically, there is a conflict between Russia and Ukraine. We all know what kind of conflict this is. But this is not a direct conflict within Europe,” he said.

⠀
The politician noted that Russia can be a partner and friend for Europe, and without cooperation with it, the life of Europeans gets worse.

“It’s not Europe’s business to deal with weapons, sanctions and everything else. Europe’s business is to look at what is happening inside Europe and be interested in its citizens. I think when this parliament changes, weapons will be blocked and sanctions will fall. This is the right way,” Angelov concluded.

Elections to the European Parliament will be held from June 6 to 9. Citizens of EU countries must elect 720 MEPs.
