Bulgarian Foreign Minister Maria Gabriel has called statements about Moscow's ongoing invasion of Ukraine by Russian Ambassador to Sofia Eleonora Mitrofanova "propaganda and disinformation" that are "unacceptable and inappropriate." It was the first public statement by the former EU commissioner, who took over Bulgaria's Foreign Ministry last week. The statement comes a day after Mitrofanova publicly said Bulgaria is "drawn into the conflict" by supplying Ukraine with ammunition or by "the possible dispatch of Bulgarian military units to the war zone," an issue that has never been on the agenda for Bulgarian authorities.
