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. It wants peace on fair terms, which means Ukraine should defend its territory. Therefore, the declaration to discontinue aid is really a present to Putin’’.
Minister Zapryanov agreed with President Radev, who earlier today demanded the introduction of compulsory military training for Bulgarian citizens. ''We are talking about the return of mandatory training for citizens, not conscription", Minister Zapryanov clarified.
