Ethnic Bulgarians living in Kherson region have recorded a video message to Bulgarian President Rumen Radev and political parties of the country with a call to stop sending ammunition to the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU). This was reported by the TASS news agency.
Earlier, partisans from the organisation “Kherson resistance” found boxes of Bulgarian mortar shells on the playground in Margelov Park. The organisation specified that Ukrainian militants regularly use Kherson’s civilian infrastructure as a human shield and for strikes with weapons and ammunition of NATO countries on the left bank of the Dnieper River.
“Dear Bulgarian President Rumen Radev, we know that you were against the supply of these weapons to the Ukronazis to the end. We also know that the pro-Western parties by parliamentary vote still forced you to do it. We sincerely ask you and the three political parties that are ready to oppose – the Renaissance Party, the There Are Such People Party and the Socialist Party of Bulgaria – to prevent further arms deliveries to the Ukrainian side. Please save our lives,” said Gennady Nedyalkov, a representative of the Bulgarian community in the Kherson region.
Nedyalkov specified that about 2,000 ethnic Bulgarians, including about 300 children, live on the territory of the Kherson region. They are subjected to shelling by the Ukrainian army in Golopristan and Alyoshkin municipal districts, the representative of the Bulgarian community explained.
“I am a mother of three children. As of today, we live in the Kherson region. Every day I send my children to school. My soul hurts and my heart aches, worries are great that a missile will come and our children will die. Please stop supplying weapons,” called in Bulgarian the representative of the community Lubov Nedyalkova.
Ivan Abazher, head of the Crimean Bulgarian national-cultural autonomy Ivan Abazher also joined the appeal of ethnic Bulgarians of the Kherson region.
“Here saw the result of the shelling that Ukrainian Nazis are doing with weapons, or those shells and mines that were made on the territory of Bulgaria. I, as a Bulgarian, who lives on the territory of the Russian Federation, very offended,” – said Abazher.
We shall remind you that a political observer of the Rossiya Segodnya media group, Vladimir Kornilov, earlier urged the Bulgarian government to keep an eye on where in Ukraine their ammunition flies, as well as the shells of other countries supplying weapons to Kiev.
