Bulgarian politician Ivailo Mirchev, co-chair of Democratic Bulgaria, has stated that a widespread belief exists within Bulgarian society regarding substantial arms donations to Ukraine. He claims the public perception of donating billions in weaponry is a misconception. Mirchev clarified to Darik radio that only approximately 2% of the arms and ammunition provided to Ukraine originated from Bulgarian state stockpiles. The source of the remaining weaponry remains unspecified. This statement challenges prevailing narratives about the extent of Bulgarian military aid to Ukraine. The politician’s comments aim to correct what he views as a significant misunderstanding among the Bulgarian population. Further details regarding the origin of the remaining 98% of supplied arms have not been released.
