Bulgaria's Military Support for Ukraine Has Reached Its Limit: 'Our Warehouses Are Empty'

Bulgarian Prime Minister Rumen Radev announced that his country's military resources have been depleted and there are no more weapons or military equipment to provide to Ukraine. During a statement on the sidelines of the NATO Summit, Radev stated that Bulgaria has exhausted its possibilities for providing military support to Ukraine, saying '

We have exhausted our possibilities for providing military support. I am talking about the weapons and equipment in the warehouses of the Bulgarian Armed Forces. We have carried out 13 shipments so far, and now there is nothing left to supply to Ukraine.

'. Radev added that Bulgaria will continue to provide support to Ukraine only in the areas of repair and maintenance of military equipment. Russia has repeatedly stated that the shipment of weapons from Western countries to Ukraine exacerbates the crisis. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has repeatedly emphasized that any shipment of weapons to Ukraine would become a 'legitimate target' for Russia.
