Bulgaria Denies Ukraine Requested Heavy Weapons
The Bulgarian government denies Ukraine’s request for heavy weapons, citing an earlier parliamentary decision, which explicitly outlined the limits of Sofia’s military aid to Kiev.
“As long as I am minister, weapons will not be provided,” caretaker defense minister Dmitar Stoyanov said, before denying a direct threat of Bulgaria becoming directly involved in the war, but admitting there were risks to national security.
