Bulgarian President Rumen Radev vetoed the law passed by parliament ratifying the agreement with Ukraine on the supply of 100 decommissioned armored personnel carriers from the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Radev vetoed the law because members of parliament were not sufficiently familiar with the specific conditions of the delivery and could not assess whether the provided equipment is outdated and necessary.

Radev stated that the safety, health and life of Bulgarian citizens should be the first priority.

Bulgarian President Rumen Radev said on Dec. 4 that he had vetoed Bulgaria's agreement with Kyiv to provide Ukraine with 100 armored vehicles, returning the deal to the parliament.

Bulgarian President Rumen Radev vetoed the draft law on the ratification of the agreement with Ukraine on the supply of armored personnel carriers to Kyiv.

Radev explained his decision by the fact that deputies were not sufficiently familiar with the specific conditions of the transfer and did not have the opportunity to objectively assess whether the provided equipment was outdated and necessary.

Radev noted that wartime tasks for Bulgarian security forces were not taken into account in the agreement.
