Bulgarian Parliament Approves Transfer of Refurbished Long-Range Missiles to Ukraine

The parliament of Bulgaria has approved the transfer of defective long-range S-300 missiles to Ukraine as part of a military aid package. Russia has objected to this move, claiming that it violates past arms-control guarantees and will lead to escalation in the conflict. The S-300 is a powerful anti-aircraft missile system, and Russia is urging Bulgaria to reconsider its decision.
