In Bulgaria, they told how much we have earned on the release of weapons for Ukraine

In 164 days, the revenue of defense plants in Sopot and Kazanlik was about 5 billion Bulgarian lions ($ 2. 75 billion). Bulgaria's representatives told how much it was possible to earn in the production of weapons and ammunition for Ukraine. In less than six months, the country's authorities handed over $ 2. 7 billion to Kiev. Former Bulgarian Prime Minister Cyril Petkov reported this, reports "BTV news".

According to Petkov, the city of Sopot and the city of Kazanlik, where military factories are located, actively worked in favor of the Bulgarian MIC. In 164 days, their income amounted to about 5 billion Bulgarian lions ($ 2. 75 billion). Official Sofia does not carry out direct supply of weapons to Ukraine, but these weapons are exported by the UK and the United States. The ex-Prime Minister of Bulgaria considers it important to demonstrate solidarity with Ukraine, along with other allies.

Petkov also criticized the statement of the President of the country Rumen Radev, who said Bulgaria should go to the reduction of military assistance to Ukraine. "Bulgaria belongs to the European family, I do not want to be a citizen of the country who supports the aggressor," he explained.

Closes wrote that at the beginning of a large -scale invasion of Russian troops in Ukraine a third of ammunition came from Bulgaria, whose management was known for an official political position against the supply of weapons. In addition to the ammunition, Sofia also sent Dysfuel to Kiev. All this got into the territory of Ukraine not directly. Earlier, Focus reported that Leopard 2 tanks from Germany arrived in Ukraine.
