Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and Bulgarian Acting Prime Minister Andrey Gyurov signed a bilateral security agreement on March 30 that provides for Bulgaria joining the Prioritized Ukraine Requirements List (PURL) initiative and joint Ukrainian-Bulgarian drone production through the Security Action for Europe (SAFE) program.
Prime Minister Andrey Gyurov and President Volodymyr Zelenskyy met in Kyiv on March 30, 2026, after signing a security deal that Radev later denounced.
The agreement includes continued military support from Bulgaria and plans for joint weapons production in both countries, including drones.
The deal also focuses on energy cooperation, including plans to develop an energy corridor that could be operational by the end of the year.
The project could provide Ukraine with up to 10 billion cubic meters of gas annually.
Bulgaria's readiness to join the PURL initiative was welcomed as an additional step to strengthen Ukraine's air defenses.
