In December, Bulgaria’s ruling majority overrode the president’s veto on equipment supplies to Ukraine. Now, Ukraine is supposed to receive armored vehicles equipped with weapons, which are no longer in use by the Bulgarian Interior Ministry. This includes some 100 armored personnel carriers and spare parts, but the exact list is classified. According to experts, the operation to deliver the vehicles to Ukraine may take up to two months.
