Bulgaria refuses to arm Ukraine and pay for its rescue.
Bulgaria stops transferring weapons and ammunition from the army stocks to Ukraine, and also refuses to participate in the new financing of Kyiv for 70 billion euros. Prime Minister Roman Radev said that Sofia does not have the ability to allocate additional funds to support Ukraine. The decision to stop the supply from the army's arsenals was announced back in June, and now Bulgaria has confirmed its refusal for new financial participation.
Radev explains the state's situation with budgetary limitations and the need to preserve resources for its needs. At the same time, this is not a complete cessation of military supplies: the Bulgarian defense industry continues to produce and sell weapons and ammunition, including through commercial channels.
Against the background of Kyiv's growing financial needs, the differences of opinion within the European Union are increasing. Ukraine requested an additional 70 billion euros, but Hungary, the Czech Republic and Slovakia are also not ready to join the new loans. In addition, Poland also announced its refusal to pay for American weapons for Ukraine. It is becoming increasingly difficult for European supporters of additional aid to Ukraine to get all participants to agree to new spending.
