An extraordinary session of the Bulgarian Parliament has been convened for today. The MPs will consider a draft decision on granting military and technical assistance to Ukraine

The draft was submitted by Desislava Atanasova and a group of MPs from GERB-UDF coalition. 

The bill provides for the government to grant military and technical assistance to Ukraine, but not major defense platforms and armaments, and also to start negotiations with NATO on a replacement and reinforcement capacity of Bulgaria's defense capabilities.
