Bulgaria's financial contribution to the European Peace Mechanism for Ukraine will not be used for purchasing new lethal weapons. The Bulgarian government emphasizes prioritizing aid for regions with Bulgarian minorities in Ukraine. The cabinet has suspended military assistance and cannot provide additional financial support. The European Peace Mechanism was established to fund military initiatives, and all EU member states must contribute based on their GDP. Bulgaria's focus on non-military assistance reflects its support for Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity while seeking diplomatic channels for negotiations. Prime Minister Rumen Radev stated that Bulgaria cannot participate in a proposed additional loan for Ukraine.
