As reported by BTA on November 22, 2023, the Bulgarian National Assembly ratified an agreement between the Bulgarian Interior Ministry and Ukraine’s Ministry of Defence. This agreement initially signed in Sofia on August 8 and later in Kyiv on November 13, involves the donation of 100 armored personnel carriers (APCs), along with corresponding armaments and spare parts, free of charge, to Ukraine.
The decision to provide these APCs originated from the surplus within the Bulgarian Interior Ministry, as outlined in a report by the parliamentary Defence Committee. These vehicles, no longer required for domestic purposes, were deemed suitable for repurposing and donation to Ukraine.
