In the new Russian defense doctrines, the ultimate goal of the war in Ukraine is to withdraw NATO to its borders by 2004. This means that if Russia wins this war, it is very likely that it will demand that Bulgaria and Romania, which joined NATO in 2004, to be a buffer zone, Bulgarian political scientist Iskren Ivanov commented for Nova News, 24Chasa quotes.

He compares it with a similar situation that Ukraine was in before. “And we can say that we have seen the fate of buffer zones. Great Britain and the United States are the guarantors that this will not happen, because they are the countries that contribute the most to NATO’s defense,” Ivanov was quoted as saying by Rador Radio Romania.

The political scientist called David Cameron’s visit to Sofia particularly important, and its consequences, according to the political scientist, can be analyzed on three levels.

“The goal is to strengthen British influence in Europe. It makes sense to direct more resources to keep Russia on the old continent. Eastern Europe is a very important element. In NATO, our security is quite well guaranteed, and not in the format of collective security, as in the new Europe. countries do not have the strategic resources of the USA and Great Britain,” he said.
