There is no immediate military threat to Bulgaria's territorial integrity and sovereignty, reads an extraordinary text in the Defense Ministry's report on the state of defense last year, included because of the war in Ukraine.
The report was adopted by the government days ago but was published this week. It also said there were "serious risks to national security" and called for the deployment of "troops and Alliance forces" in the country.
