"No one has raised the issue of sending troops to Ukraine. Zelensky did not raise such an issue," Prime Minister Nikolai Denkov said in response to a motion in the National Assembly by the Bulgarian Socialist Party (BSP) calling for an urgent hearing with him. 

The Socialists wanted Mr Denkov to clarify his statements during his visit to Ukraine, where he signed a bilateral security agreement with Ukraine. The BSP demanded an explanation from Nikolai Denkov on whether his comments implied that Bulgaria was ready to provide troops. 

"Even if someone had raised this issue, I would have said what I have always said - Bulgarian troops will not go there," the prime minister added, as quoted by BTA. He said that what had been discussed was military and technical assistance to Ukraine.
