"Firstly, that the Soviet Government cannot share the view of the Bulgarian Government as to the correctness of her attitude in this question as this attitude, independently of whether the Bulgarian Government wishes it, cannot lead to consolidation of peace but to extension of the sphere of war and involving Bulgaria in the war; Secondly, the Soviet Government, true to its peace policy. is not in a position to render any support whatever to the Bulgarian Government in the execution of her present policy, The Soviet Government finds it necessary to make this statement particularly in view of unhindered rumours in the Bulgarian press which fundamentally misrepresent the real attitude of the Soviet Government"
