Earlier, the Prime Minister of Bulgaria announced the launch of a fundraising campaign for the Ukrainian government, urging to follow his example and donate a month’s salary.

Bulgaria condemned Russia's invasion of Ukraine, voted in favor of European Union sanctions against Russia, and has accepted more than 90,000 Ukrainian refugees. However, there is no consensus in the four-party ruling coalition on whether to send weapons and ammunition to Kyiv.

The Parliament of Bulgaria is expected in the near future to discuss how to further support Ukraine.
