Sending Bulgarian soldiers to Ukraine is a typical example of a hybrid attack and disinformation.
Such a topic has never been discussed in a NATO format, not even today. This was assured by acting Prime Minister Dimitar Glavchev, a BGNES reporter reported.
Glavchev gave a joint briefing with NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, after their private meeting.
Glavchev explained that they discussed the issues in the Black Sea region and the aid to Ukraine, then explained that for both of them there can be no alternative regarding this aid. "At the end of the meeting, Jens Stoltenberg said that we should help Ukraine with all our might, but that no NATO country should be involved in the war," said Dimitar Glavchev.
The acting prime minister also assured that there was no talk of increasing aid to Ukraine and that they adhere to the decisions made by the National Assembly.
NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said he would accept the task of improved security in the Black Sea region and the Western Balkans. "Last year, Bulgaria increased its defense spending by nearly 20%, and now it has reached the goal of spending 2% of GDP on defense, which proves that Bulgaria is an important NATO partner," Stoltenberg said.
He was adamant that it is necessary to increase the production of military equipment and to strengthen the role of NATO in the field of security, not only in relation to Ukraine. "The world is uncertain and we must be prepared," added Jens Stoltenberg. /BGNES
