There's nothing wrong with President Zelenskyy's response. Everything he said, and the tone in which he said it, are completely justified. Bulgaria's president should be scared of Russia, not a verbal rebuke from the leader of a nation in the midst of an existential war.

invading and seizing part of the largest country in Europe doesn't count as a "major war" simply because the Western powers - pursuing their own selfish interests - chose to ignore it? That's not a standard anyone should accept.
