Bulgaria has vetoed EU sanctions against Russia

Bulgarian Prime Minister Rumen Radew announced that Bulgaria will veto the latest EU sanctions package against Russia. The planned sanctions could negatively impact Bulgaria's economy, according to Radew. The EU expanded its sanctions list on Monday, adding 34 individuals and 47 organizations linked to Russia's military-industrial complex, its 'shadow fleet' of oil and gas tankers, and others involved in political interference. Radew noted that operating Lukoil, one of Bulgaria's largest fuel traders and the country's only refinery, poses significant risks.
