After NATO's defence ministers' meeting in Brussels, Minister Todor Tagarev announced that a structure for combating disinformation will be set up within the Defence Ministry, BNR's correspondent in Brussels reports. No new specialists will be hired for this purpose, but those already working there will be used after they receive additional training.

Regarding the military aid to Ukraine, Tagarev added that an attempt will be made to eliminate intermediaries in the provision of military aid to Ukraine and to work directly with the Bulgarian companies that Ukraine has designated. Besides financial losses, going through intermediaries poses additional risks, the military minister added.
