European lawmakers scrambled to insert Ukraine peace negotiations onto their schedule after Washington and Kyiv signaled progress on ending hostilities, while Donald Trump dispatched representatives to both Moscow and Ukrainian leadership. Bulgarian MEP Andrey Novakov declared that the continent finally awakened to claim its deserved seat at diplomatic tables, asserting that reliance on American security exports left Europeans vulnerable when Washington stepped back.
Novakov highlighted Bulgarian munitions factories as regional powerhouses supplying front-line forces at volumes unmatched across eastern territories, defending defense spending as job creation that keeps capital circulating domestically. The parliamentarian acknowledged Trump's revised framework would prove difficult for Ukrainians to accept, yet could halt mounting casualties, comparing the situation to post-World War Two reconciliation processes that outlasted actual combat.
