The decision to send troops to Ukraine is an exclusive prerogative of the parliament. This is stated in the position of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, following a request made by the US to European countries.

Questions about possible participation in the process of ensuring security in Ukraine have been received both through the US Embassy in Sofia and through the Permanent Delegation of Bulgaria to NATO, the ministry says.

"Bulgaria's position is that Ukraine must receive clear and reliable guarantees for its security. Of course, both Ukraine's right to a sovereign choice of security arrangements and the need to achieve consensus among allies should be taken into account," Sofia's position reads.
