Afghan Voice Agency (AVA) - International Service: Bulgaria's new prime minister announced that the country has withdrawn from the European "Coalition of the Willing" supporting Ukraine and will no longer participate in the coalition's activities.
According to international media reports, Roman Radev stated that Bulgaria is no longer part of this coalition; a coalition formed with the participation of a number of European countries to coordinate and strengthen political, military and security support for Ukraine.
Bulgaria, which was previously among the members of this coalition, was not present at the recent meeting of the "Coalition of the Willing" held yesterday; an issue that is considered a practical sign of the country's withdrawal from this cooperation framework.
No further details have been released by the Bulgarian government about the reasons for this decision, but the move could affect how Sofia participates in joint European initiatives in support of Ukraine.
