The UK has announced that it will support Bulgaria against « malicious activities » after Sofia dismantled its first Russian spy ring since the end of World War II. Bulgaria said the group of spies that their leader’s wife used to leak secrets to the Russian embassy posed a « serious threat » to NATO and the European Union. « We fully support Bulgaria’s efforts to destroy a suspected spy ring and to take steps to combat the hostile actions of Russia on its territory, » Foreign Minister Dominic Raab said on Saturday. Six Bulgarians charged with espionage on behalf of Russia on Friday included high-ranking officials, including staff from the Ministry of Defense and military intelligence. According to Prosecutor General Ivan Geshev, it is the first such spy ring discovered in Bulgaria since the end of World War II. The group is alleged to have used a former high-ranking official from the Bulgarian Military Intelligence Service to build a network of people who have access to classified information about the EU, NATO and Bulgaria. The secret service was passed on to an « employee of the Russian embassy » in exchange for money via the ring leader’s wife, the public prosecutor said. They claim to have incriminating videotapes of the suspects. A suspect attempted to flee when officials arrested the group after a large-scale investigation was ongoing. It is not the first time that Bulgaria has « seen activities by foreign embassies that are incompatible with the Vienna Convention », according to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The US State Department said they « strongly support » Bulgarian sovereignty and are closely monitoring the case. The US strongly supports the sovereignty of Bulgaria and stands with Bulgarians against this malicious activity on their territory. “Russia condemned efforts to » demonize « the Kremlin and sever bilateral relations. « We assume that the speculation about the alleged involvement of Russia in the secret service work against the interests of Bulgaria will be stopped until a court ruling is available, » said a statement by the embassy on Friday. Assume that court proceedings are depoliticized, impartial and will be objective. “Diplomatic relations between Russia and Bulgaria have been strained in recent years after a series of espionage scandals. Six people from the Russian embassy, ​​including five ambassadors, were expelled from Bulgaria between October 2019 and the end of 2020.
