Just 54% of Bulgarians say that the war in Ukraine is a threat to EU security and support the development of a common European policy on defense. The average level for the EU is about 70 percent, data by a Eurobarometer survey from May show.
Most of Bulgarians disapprove of sending financing and weapons for Ukraine's defense against Russian aggression. 30% approve of sending military aid as half of them are firm supporters and the others are “willing to agree”. 42% completely oppose helping Ukraine with weapons and ammunition and another 20% are willing to support this position. The main reason for these answers is fear that the war could spread to Bulgaria, according to the survey. 42% of respondents also oppose European sanctions against Russia.
