There has been widespread condemnation of Russia’s President,
Vladimir Putin’s decision to absorb Crimea after its referendum
to break away from Ukraine. But Moscow says that any further
sanctions imposed against it by the EU over Crimea, will affect
Europe as much as itself. Hardtalk speaks to the Bulgarian
president, Rosen Plevneliev. Bulgaria is the EU’s poorest country
and depends on Russia for 85% of its gas needs. Can Bulgaria, and
the EU as a whole, afford to get tough with Moscow?
