He said, “I think this insanity that is happening due to one person is horrific, and I believe that people have the wits in their head to think soberly enough and assess the situation”.
“Many Ukrainians are fighting for their land because they don’t want anyone to liberate them from anything. I don’t understand what we need to be liberated from”.
Dimitrov blamed the Russian President Vladimir Putin for the present situation of Ukraine, putting tens of thousands of lives of the individual at stake. He then told the media while suggesting that many individuals, including his family members, would “continue to resist the invasion”.
