Ukraine does not receive free military aid from Bulgaria, but engages in mutually beneficial defense cooperation and expects it to continue.

This was stated by Heorhii Tykhyi, spokesperson for the Ukrainian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, at a briefing, according to Ukrinform.

“As of now, Ukraine does not receive free military aid from Bulgaria. Ukrainian-Bulgarian defense cooperation continues on a commercial basis and is mutually beneficial for Ukraine and Bulgaria,” he said.

According to him, the Ukrainian Ministry of Foreign Affairs expects this cooperation to continue because it also benefits Bulgarian companies, which can scale up production and generate revenue through this partnership.
