Zelenskiy's Visit to Bulgaria Raises Concerns and Nuclear Deal Prospects

Bulgarian Defense Minister Todor Tagarev expressed regret over the leaked information about Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's visit to Sofia, which was initially kept secret for security reasons. Tagarev confirmed the visit on TV and apologized for the advance revelations. While Bulgaria's new prime minister is pro-Ukraine, its president is equivocal on NATO and hostile to arming Kyiv. The Bulgarian government recently announced a new package of military assistance for Ukraine, emphasizing the need to block the aggressive intentions of the Kremlin for regional security.
