Bulgarian military personnel have not been and will not be deployed in Ukraine and in non- EU countries, the government press service said in a statement. A decision of the 48th National Assembly on provision of military and military-technical support to Ukraine authorizes the participation of members of the Bulgarian Armed Forces in the European Union Military Assistance Mission in Ukraine (EUMAM). This includes one staff officer in Belgium, up to 5 officers and sergeants in Poland and Germany, and up to 50 servicemen in Bulgaria or EU countries, the statement said.

Bulgaria has extended more than EUR 240 million in humanitarian and other aid to Ukraine. 150,000 Ukrainians were granted temporary asylum in the country, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said on Twitter.
