Bulgaria to end state weapons supply to Ukraine
Bulgaria will no longer provide weapons from its army stocks to Ukraine, the prime minister of the NATO and EU member said on June 10, calling for "the pursuit of a diplomatic solution" to end the war.
While the country's defense industry is set to remain one of the main suppliers of ammunition destined for Kiev, Prime Minister Rumen Radev said the government was "putting an end to the provision of weapons from the Bulgarian army to Ukraine".
"We have already given enough, while our country continues to suffer socio-economic damage from this bloody war," he told the media before a cabinet meeting.
Radev, who has called for dialogue with Russia, which invaded Ukraine in 2022, and criticised military aid to Ukraine, took office in May after his party won a majority in parliamentary elections.
