Democratic Bulgaria will offer military aid to Ukraine for a vote in the National Assembly
“There is no point in organizing a Coalition Council on Tuesday (April 26th), it makes sense for it to happen after visiting the Bulgarian delegation in Kyiv.” This was stated to BNR by the chairman of the parliamentary group of “Democratic Bulgaria” Hristo Ivanov and lead that the DB has not yet decided who will be their representative in the leading delegation of Prime Minister Kiril Petkov from the ruling coalition in Ukraine. “We will decide who our representative will be. At the moment, it doesn’t look like me,” he said.
Our position is unequivocal – to help Ukraine with military aid, Ivanov was adamant and clarified that it is not a position that is being formed in Kyiv and “it is our visible point, as it seems our national interests.”
“We will use the opportunity I have – to put one item on the agenda of the parliament every first Wednesday of the month. We will put the draft decisions in plenary on May 4 and we will keep voting on the item in the version in it is about military aid to Ukraine “, an additional leader of the PG of the DB.
According to him, the requests of GERB-UDF and MRF give the expected version of this decision to receive sufficient support.
“Bulgaria must support Ukraine’s efforts. All NATO countries, with the exception of Hungary, have provided assistance. At the moment, this is possible not only to repel Russian aggression, but there is an opportunity for Bulgaria to make a leap in the modernization of the armed forces, which is in great need, “Ivanov said.
It turned out that the latest package of US aid is formulated in such a way that the means to accelerate the modernization of the armed forces of Eastern European countries, and we have an interest in getting involved in this, “can not become hypocritical”:
“I must make it clear that we are giving military aid to Ukraine – both through donations and by selling absolutely legitimately.”
