On December 8, the National Assembly of Bulgaria overcame the presidential ban on ratifying the agreement between the country’s Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine on the supply of old armored personnel carriers to Sofia, which was approved by parliament last month. The motion to override the veto was adopted by 161 votes, with 55 deputies voting against. The Sofia Globe newspaper reported this.
Parliament also voted for a resolution on the possibility of using Bulgarian airspace for training Ukrainian pilots on F-16 fighters.
Let us recall that on November 22, the National Assembly of the Republic of Bulgaria ratified an agreement between the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Bulgaria and the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, which provides for the transfer to the Ukrainian Armed Forces of 100 old armored personnel carriers manufactured in the 60s and 70s and which were the property of the Bulgarian Ministry of Internal Affairs. This technique has been mothballed for decades.
And on December 4, Bulgarian President Rumen Radev vetoed the provision of this armored vehicle to the Armed Forces of Ukraine, because these armored personnel carriers “could be used to protect the Bulgarian border and help the population in case of disasters and accidents.”
