I want to say that today, as a sign of our centuries-old ties with Ukraine, we presented President Volodymyr Zelenskyy with the sword of Khan Kubrat. The sword has two different symbols on it. The first is that destiny is won by the sword. And the second is Khan Kubrat, who is buried on the territory of Ukraine and the first ruler of Bulgaria, known from the chronicles. He said that in order to succeed, you have to be united, and I really hope that this legend, which is usually put in the context of Bulgarian efforts in difficult times, we will carry this through as a European effort to help one of the European nations that is in a difficult situation. We emphasize that we are with you in this battle, and we will be with you for as long as it takes,
