Todor Tagarev: Bulgaria will not pay for Patriot missiles for Kiev  - 1

Bulgaria will not pay for the Patriot missiles to Ukraine. I would be surprised if our current government decides to participate in this initiative. This was said in an interview with “Face to Face“ on bTV by former Defense Minister Todor Tagarev.

“Technically, a fund has been created in NATO, which will be filled with contributions from willing countries. It will be used to purchase American weapons,“ he recalled.

We assume that in addition to the sales of defense systems, the provision of intelligence information will also continue – this is the good news“, Tagarev also noted.

“Trump has several times given Russia a 14-day deadline to cease hostilities, now he has given 50. Nothing will happen after they expire. This statement completely suits Putin.

He very much hopes that this summer, by intensifying the offensive actions of the Russian army, he will improve his negotiating position. Unfortunately, the Russian army is achieving some successes“, commented the former minister.
