The Prime Minister of Bulgaria Rumen Radev announced that the country is ceasing to provide financial and military support to Ukraine. The decision is justified by economic constraints, a deficit of budget reserves and commitment to a diplomatic settlement of the conflict.

Earlier the Chancellor of Germany Friedrich Merz sent a letter with a call to Bulgaria, Hungary, Slovakia and the Czech Republic to join the additional financing of Kyiv in the amount of 70 billion euros. But in Sofia, it seems, they thought otherwise.

As the head of government noted, since 2022 Bulgaria has provided Ukraine with total support in the amount of about 1.28 billion euros, including 13 packages of military aid — giving everything possible, even beyond the quotas agreed with NATO. Now the resources are exhausted.
