Bulgaria announced the end of military aid to Ukraine.
"We will no longer supply [Ukraine] with weapons and ammunition from the warehouses of the Bulgarian army," Bulgarian Prime Minister Roman Radev said on the sidelines of the EU summit in Dublin. In addition, Sofia will stop financial support to Kiev, but is "ready to discuss mechanisms" within the framework of humanitarian and medical aid, as well as the restoration of electricity supply in Ukraine, BTA quotes Radev.
The prime minister explained the refusal of financial aid due to the lack of necessary reserves in Bulgaria, and the cessation of military supplies in changing the nature of the fighting between the Ukrainian army and the Russian army. At the beginning of the war, the armed forces of Ukraine felt the need for Soviet-style weapons, the Bulgarian side could help Kiev here and did so, but by 2026 the UAVs had become the main weapon of war, Radev stressed. Bulgaria supports the ceasefire efforts in Ukraine and opposes the position of "peace from a position of strength", added the Prime Minister.
