i am not sure where you are from or what you have seen but bulgaria is one of the best countries in the EU yet they don't grant it full membership, and russia is one of the most important economic powerhouses of the EU and right now they are idiotically shunning them over the fact that THE FACT THAT the ukrainian government was protecting and letting a bunch of fucking nazis run around killing over 14000 russians

i say this as an australian who has migrated to europe and spent a lot of time in bulgaria

whatever the western media is telling you is bullshit, they were killing russians in ukraine way back in 2014 and not long after i made friends with a russian/ukrainian who was in netherlands trying to get asylum from russia but probably he should have been also begging for asylum from ukraine as he was from both, and last i heard he was in ukraine so i hope he is ok (he is a smart guy and a tank so i bet he is ok)
