President Rumen Radev: Peace in Ukraine will be written by the victors

“We see a rational plan for a quick peace from President Donald Trump, according to which the situation on the battlefield is developing extremely unfavorably for Ukraine, and he is trying to prevent a worse scenario and additional casualties,” President Rumen Radev told the media at the AFCEA TechNET Sofia 2025 Annual Conference. According to him, Europe insists on being a factor with its own demands but must consider whether it is ready to assume responsibility for the consequences if it misses the opportunity for peace. “If we do not seize the moment now, future negotiations may take place under far less favorable conditions and after even more casualties”, President Radev added.

“The peace treaty is written by the victors, and I sincerely hope that this time we will not have to prove this historical maxim, to avoid further casualties and destruction”, Rumen Radev stated.
