According to him, the Ukrainian ambassador requested heavy weapons from Sophia. 

Stoyanov explained that he replied that there was a decision of the Bulgarian parliament to provide military-technical assistance to Kyiv, but not to provide weapons.

He added that while he holds the post of minister, Bulgaria will not provide weapons to Ukraine.

In August, Russia withdrew licenses from a number of enterprises in the Czech Republic and Bulgaria for the right to repair Mi-type helicopters for cooperation with Ukraine.
