The caretaker government is working on the next aid package for Ukraine, caretaker Minister of Defense Atanas Zapryanov told BNR after the end of a meeting of NATO defense ministers. Asked to comment on the words of President Rumen Radev, who said he had requested a change in the declaration of the B9 Summit - that military aid to Ukraine should be optional and not mandatory, Zapryanov responded: "NATO does not want to escalate this conflict.
