The US announced additional funding for the modernization of the Bulgarian army under the Foreign Military Financing Program, the US Embassy in Sofia reported on its website. The Congress has approved almost 40 million USD in additional military funding for Bulgaria. The money will be used for upgrading capabilities and interoperability.

"Bulgaria has provided valuable humanitarian support to Ukraine in the face of Russia’s full-scale invasion and has contributed greatly to collective defense by hosting a multi-national NATO battlegroup that is an important part of the Alliance’s deterrence and defense posture on its eastern flank. Bulgaria has also provided refuge to tens of thousands of displaced Ukrainians," the embassy wrote.
