Bulgarian President Rumen Radev hit out at EU support for Ukraine, calling Kyiv’s prospects of victory against Russia “doomed” in his latest pro-Kremlin remarks.
Radev, a former air force chief who was elected in 2016 and again in 2021, is one of the few leaders in Europe who has taken a softer stance on Russia since Moscow’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, frequently speaking out against sending military aid to Ukraine.
