Sofia to send technical assistance to Ukraine’s energy sector

Bulgaria is preparing to send electrical transformers and other equipment to support the population of Ukraine, announced caretaker Minister of Foreign Affairs Nadezhda Neynski after the meeting of the Foreign Affairs Council. She described Russia’s attacks on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure as genocide. “These are not measures against the army, but against the population”, Nadezhda Neynski said. The minister added that Europe’s efforts to achieve a lasting and just peace are serious and a matter of European security.

Nadezhda Neynski also met NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte in Brussels to discuss the changing security environment and maintaining transatlantic unity, the Foreign Ministry reported. The talks included building the necessary capabilities for the Alliance’s defense in the Black Sea region.
