Ukraine says Bulgaria backs its Nato bid FMTNews FMTWorld
KYIV: Ukraine on Thursday said it had secured the backing of Nato member Bulgaria for its membership of the military alliance “as soon as conditions allow” as President Volodymyr Zelensky held talks in Sofia on a tour to rally support from allies.
After talks with Bulgarian prime minister Nikolai Denkov, Zelensky said he had invited the country to participate in the reconstruction effort in Ukraine and urged it to maintain its military support 16 months after Russia’s full-scale invasion. Zelensky’s diplomacy adviser, Ihor Zhovkva, said the countries had signed a declaration on Ukraine’s integration into Western organisations, particularly Nato and the EU. He said Bulgaria had become the 22nd country to support Kyiv’s Nato bid.
Zhovkva said Bulgaria had recognised that Ukraine’s membership in the alliance was “the only way to ensure a sufficient level of security for both Ukraine and the entire Euro-Atlantic family”.
