The US announced USD 2.98 billion in new military aid to Ukraine that will provide longer-term weapons and training to enable forces there to fight for years to come. With this latest military aid package for Ukraine, the US aid under President Joe Biden now totals USD 13.6 billion in 19 packages.

In an interview with the BNR, US ambassador to NATO Julianne Smith said the US believes kraine will prevail in this war, adding that she did not expect any change that could lead to a drastic cut or an end to the US economic and military aid for Ukraine. Ambassador Smith stated that a counteroffensive was in Ukraine's hands.

On Ukraine’s national day, thousands of Ukrainian refugees and Bulgarians carried out peace processions in many major cities around Bulgaria. In Sofia, the procession which was joined by protestors against possible negotiations with Russia’s Gazprom, marched along the central streets of the city to reach the monument to Ukrainian poet Taras Shevchenko, where they laid flowers.
