Bulgaria is ready to repair Ukrainian military machines, Bulgarian Prime Minister Kiril Petkov said after a meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Kyiv. President Zelenskyy said he was relying on such assistance.

According to PM Petkov, the meeting in the Ukrainian capital was very productive. Ukraine is ready to export cheap electricity to Bulgaria as it has high production capacity and at the same time it needs fresh capital.

Next week, Ukrainian specialists will come to Bulgaria to study the possibilities of supplying electricity through Romania to this country. Another topic discussed was the use of the Trans-Balkan gas pipeline which can deliver gas from Turkey to Bulgaria, Romania and Ukraine. According to Petkov, the port of Varna could become a logistics hub for the export of Ukrainian agricultural products.

President Zelenskyy promised co-operation in bringing the Bulgarian crew of the Rozhen ship back to safety.
