Don’t expect me to resign in this geopolitical situation. My responsibilities as Minister of Defense do not suggest that. As far as my resignation is now a matter of procedure alone, I am counting on the coalition “partners” and the political force that allegedly supported me to move things in order. This will be a demonstration of the will of the parliamentary majority and an indication of the policy that will be pursued in the future, supported by the relevant clear, I hope, argumentation. It will be good for the Bulgarian citizens to hear the motives, then they will have the opportunity to monitor what decisions will be made in the field of defense.
This was written on Facebook tonight by the Minister of Defense Stefan Yanev. Yanev sees a scenario for the position in the Ministry of Defense and a security risk in the demands for his resignation.
Stefan Yanev: Neither Putin nor NATO are closing the door to diplomacy
He does not want to speak with militant rhetoric

According to him, Bulgaria does not need to demonstrate a pro-Russian, pro-American or pro-European position. Bulgaria must demonstrate a position in defense of its national interests.
It is obliged to protect the rights of its citizens, to guarantee their security and tranquility, the prosperity of the Bulgarian state. In fact, the goal is one – to preserve our statehood, our culture and national identity, he wrote.
We remind you that appeals were made for the rest of Yanev, after he again made a statement deviating from the official position of the country on the occasion of the crisis in Ukraine.
After a month ago Stefan Yanev called not to read the media, but only official channels for the accumulation of Russian troops on the border with Ukraine and that there is no military threat, days after the closed parliamentary session after Putin’s invasion of Ukraine, Yanev said again. that what is happening should not be called war.
