The future of European defense, innovations in the sector and the role of industry in strengthening national and collective security. These are the highlights of an international conference in Sofia, which brings together leading experts on foreign policy, defense and innovation from Bulgaria, the European Union and NATO, reports BNT.
Deputy Prime Minister Grozdan Karadzhov emphasized our country's firm support for Ukraine, as well as for European mechanisms for increasing defense funds.
"I want to be completely clear - Bulgaria supports Ukraine because it supports peace, because it supports security and freedom and will continue to do so with political, diplomatic means, delivering timely military and military-technical assistance. Bulgaria supports the commitment to higher defense budgets not because they want it from NATO. "We are convinced of this because it is necessary for the Bulgarian Army," said Deputy Prime Minister Grozdan Karadjov.
