Military assistance from Bulgaria
On July 14, 2023, Bulgaria officially announced the supply of heavy weapons to Ukraine for the first time. This is the largest single package of military aid from the country.
On July 21, after a long debate, the Bulgarian parliament supported the supply of armoured personnel carriers to Ukraine from the warehouses of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Bulgaria joined NATO in 2004, but it still has stocks of Soviet-designed weapons.
