SOFIA-SABA
Bulgaria's caretaker Prime Minister Dimitar Glavchev said that sending Bulgarian troops to Ukraine has not been discussed.
"Such a topic has never been discussed in a NATO format, nor was it discussed today. Bulgarian people can rest assured", Glavchev said.
He made his comment as he was speaking in Sofia on Monday at a news briefing at the Bulgarian Council of Ministers after a one-to-one meeting with NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, according to the Bulgarian News Agency (BTA).
"This is another piece of disinformation that I have to disprove," he added, and stressed that Bulgaria is a reliable NATO ally and fulfills its obligations.
BTA reported that Glavchev and Stoltenberg discussed Bulgaria's 20-year membership in NATO and the Sofia-hosted NATO Parliamentary Assembly Spring Session, which concluded on Monday.
They also discussed issues in the Black Sea region and aid to Ukraine.
Answering a reporter’s question about a possible deployment of anti-aircraft missile defense systems on the Bulgarian Black Sea coast, Glavchev said the topic had not been discussed.
