"I am grateful to the Bulgarian Parliament for approving the delivery of APCs to Ukraine, as well as for the new military aid package." This message was delivered by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenski on the X platform after the National Assembly overrode the presidential veto on the law ratifying the agreement with Ukraine on the free provision of armoured transport equipment.
