RADEV: SOFIA WILL NOT SEND WEAPONS TO KYIV

SOFIA, NOVEMBER 14 /SRNA – RIA Novosti/ - Bulgarian Prime Minister Rumen Radev said that the Bulgarian authorities would not supply Kyiv with weapons and ammunition.

Radev stressed that, under the current circumstances, Bulgaria could not provide financial assistance to Ukraine due to the country's reserves.

He stressed that Bulgaria would not obstruct financial assistance to Ukraine from other EU countries, the BTA news agency reported.

Earlier in November, Radev acknowledged that Bulgaria did not have sufficient funds to finance Ukraine.

Russia maintains that arms deliveries to Ukraine hinder efforts to resolve the conflict, directly involve NATO countries in the conflict and amount to "playing with fire".

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has noted that any shipment containing weapons for Ukraine constitutes a legitimate target for Russia.
