"If there is a landing of Russian troops in Varna tomorrow and we have to transport 100 armored vehicles, will it take us three months?", MP Ivaylo Mirchev said for BNT. He criticized the Ministry of Defense for delaying the transportation of 100 armored personnel carriers to Ukraine. Mirchev announced that the National Council of "Yes, Bulgaria" decided to request a report in Parliament from the Ministry of Defense regarding the undelivered aid to Ukraine. Ivaylo Mirchev said that the delay occurred even though partner countries provided funds for transportation. According to him, Bulgaria can also help Ukraine with many shells that have expired and need to be disposed of.
