During the past months, we directed our efforts towards the development of modernized defense and guaranteed protection of our national interests from foreign aggression, Bulgarian Minister of Defense Todor Tagarev said.

The minister highlighted the redoubled efforts to provide all possible support to Ukraine in its fight against the Russian aggression. According to him, half of the additional military aid package has already been sent to Ukraine.

"The Ministry of Defense is providing the necessary logistical support to the Ministry of the Interior in preparation for sending one hundred BTR-60PB armored personnel carriers from the reserves of the Ministry of the Interior to Ukraine, according to a decision of the National Assembly from July this year," Minister Todor Tagarev added.
