Nowhere and in no way has anyone discussed the issue of sending troops to Ukraine to participate in hostilities between Russia and Ukraine, Bulgaria’s Minister of Foreign Affairs Georg Georgiev told MPs in parliament.

Foreign Minister Georgiev and Defence Minister Atanas Zapryanov were heard in parliament about a "questionnaire" prepared by the United States on the readiness of European countries to participate in a peacekeeping operation on Ukrainian territory. The hearing was at the proposal of the Vazrazhdane parliamentary group.

For his part, Defense Minister Zapryanov said that no one has requested Bulgaria's participation in a potential peacekeeping operation in Ukraine and added that the questions were not sent to Bulgaria, but to the NATO allies.
