A Bulgarian delegation, led by Prime Minister Kiril Petkov, is paying a visit to Ukraine.

In Kyiv, Kiril Petkov will hold talks with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and with Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal to discuss what military aid Ukraine needs, as well as ways to extract the Bulgarian ship Rozhen from the port of Chernomorsk. The Bulgarian delegation also plans to go to Borodyanka, Bucha and Irpin, towns destroyed by the Russian army, and to meet with representatives of the Bulgarian community in Ukraine. The delegation also includes Minister of Defence Dragomir Zakov and MPs from three of the four parties from the ruling coalition.

Ukraine faces “extremely difficult weeks” of heavy fighting due to the large-scale Russian offensive in the Eastern part of the country, Ukrainian Minister of Defence Oleksiy Reznikov said for France Presse.
