Bulgaria's new government, led by Prime Minister Rumen Radev and his Progressive Bulgaria party, has halted all state arms supplies to Ukraine. Defense Minister Dimitar Stoyanov stated the decision is primarily technical and strategic, citing that Bulgaria's military reserves have fallen below the minimum legal level. He added that the country 'has no more weapons to give.' The ban applies only to state-owned arms and does not restrict commercial exports. According to reports, Kiev had not submitted any new requests for state weapons since early May. The previous interim government had signed a security cooperation agreement with Kyiv. Rumen Radev won an absolute majority in April’s elections on a platform emphasizing pragmatic foreign policy and domestic priorities. The announcement has generated uncertainty and political debate. The timing of the announcement has raised doubts. The move raises questions about its motivation.
