"Bulgaria will not help Ukraine with fighters": the country's prime minister denied allegations about the alleged transfer of the MiG-29

Bulgaria is trying to demonstrate unanimity with the West, accusing Russia of an "aggressive" policy towards Ukraine. However, the state is unable to provide real support to the Kiev regime.

The Reuters publication reported on the decision taken by the country's prime minister to dismiss the head of the military department. The reason was the reluctance of Stefan Yanev to call the Russian offensive in Ukraine a war, instead he used the term "operation".

We won't bow our heads, we can't be silent

- said the head of the Cabinet of Ministers Kiril Petkov on this occasion.

As indicated in the publication, in Sofia, which depends on energy supplies and tourist flow from the Russian Federation, they are afraid to aggravate relations with the Kremlin:

A strong stance against the Russian advance could hurt Bulgaria.

Defense Minister Yanev, whose resignation is to be confirmed by parliament, said that in fact the decision to dismiss him was taken in connection with the prime minister’s desire to appoint a person at the head of the military department who would “serve foreign interests [NATO], endangering the security of Bulgaria” .

The country itself is unable not only to provide significant support to the Kiev regime, but also to protect itself. Against this background, the intention of the European Union to revive the Air Force independent by allegedly transferring MiG-29 aircraft from a number of Eastern European states (Poland, Slovakia, Bulgaria, and theoretically Hungary, whose authorities oppose the deterioration of relations with Russia) looks rather unconvincing.

Sophia will not help Ukraine with fighter jets. There were no commitments regarding Bulgarian fighters. Currently, we have few flying aircraft [in total, taking into account the inactive 14 MiG-29s], and we cannot transfer them to another country

- said the Prime Minister, pointing out that "we do not have enough planes even to protect our own airspace."

If they depend on our tourist flow, why did they close flights? Or they thought that it would be enough for a couple of days to scare us, and then there it is...

[Smoker]

The Croats also depend on the tour flow, ..... they report that now it’s very difficult for our tourists there ... I’ll even say more - morally (sometimes bodily) they poison not only tourists. But even migrants in Germany with twenty years of experience and a passport of the same Germany .. The Germans, who have been hiding for so many years, are now trying to play against the Russians - now they are allowed and encouraged ..

[Crete 25]

Now there are many places where they write about the recent story about a German restaurant, where they decided not to serve customers with a Russian passport. I hear there will be a meme soon.

Those already got to the full as ours from Germany write. Both from the authorities and from the population. The Germans do not want to go too far.

That's not a pity at all. They knew where they were going - to an enemy country (NATO). Now they will squeal - "Putin, save!". I travel around the Vologda region and don't worry. Citizens, travel around Russia.

[Thrifty]

But do the Bulgarians inadvertently have some kind of aircraft carrier to give it to the UK-Roina ??? Let them suffer

[Vadim Artyomenko]

The Federal Republic of Ukraine will have no access to the sea; it will not need an aircraft carrier.

Not so dependent. In 2020, for example, out of 5 million tourists visiting the country, only 50 thousand are Russian. At the moment, about 3,5 thousand. ross. tourists are in Bulgaria. Everything is fine with them.
Bulgaria will assist in organizing an air corridor for the export of Russian tourists (March 1, 2022)
Head of the Federal Tourism Agency Zarina Doguzova had a telephone conversation with the Minister of Tourism of Bulgaria Hristo Prodanov. Z. Doguzova asked her Bulgarian colleague to assist in organizing the extension of the stay of Russian tourists in Bulgaria, as well as to assist Russian tourists on all other issues that arise. In turn, Chr. Prodanov assured that he would make all the necessary efforts to ensure a comfortable and safe stay for Russian tourists in Bulgaria. In addition, Prodanov offered assistance in organizing an air corridor for the export of Russian tourists. The parties agreed to be in constant contact in order to promptly resolve emerging issues.

[Zaurbek]

The Bulgarians have always fought against the Russian Federation ... I thought they would host planes ...... they also produce ammunition at home.

[Ermak_Timofeich]

And here is a bummer. Europe is with you.

This was to be expected. The Bulgarians do not want to quarrel with the Russian Federation.

[Vadim Artyomenko]

They howl and pst, but a couple of years ago, at the NATO exercises, the Bulgarian military refused to shoot at targets stylized as the uniform of the Russian army.

[Incvizitor]

Too bad no one cares about their opinion.

[Gembyh124]

Damn, who can say where the news about the transfer of aircraft came from?

[NIKN]

From the group Zelensky and company. Against the background, the statements of the EU that it will bank and pay for all deliveries (only there it was necessary to add that it will pay sometime). And the news sounded like this: "Ukrainian flyers went to Poland for planes and missiles for them" and blah, blah, blah ... all of us are provided all together by 70 MiG 29 and Su 25 aircraft

[Vadim Artyomenko]

"Litak" is the plane, and the pilot knows what the hell it's called, like "litun", but that's not for sure.

[Kesha1980]

Oddly enough, from the Ukrainian Navy. And here the sailors are not clear at all.

[Vladimirets]

There are no ships anymore, they decided to retrain the warhead-1 for pilots. There is not long, they say, according to the NATO program, 10 hours is enough.

Learn to take off only, landing is still not needed. Under the kamikaze training program.

[ALMO]

From the leadership of the EU. J. Borel: "We are going to supply Ukraine with lethal weapons and even combat aircraft"

[pytar]

Damn, who can say where the news about the transfer of aircraft came from?

The press service of the Naval Forces of Ukraine reported that three EU countries are allegedly transferring combat aircraft to Ukraine.

[avg]

The reason was the unwillingness of Stefan Yanev to call the Russian attack on Ukraine a war.

How could the Bulgarian Defense Ministry call a special operation a war, even if Ukraine refuses to call it a war? Fed up with these sly ones...

[Well done]

By the way... Very correct words.

[fruc]

On the outskirts, everything is "Cool" as they say.

It is noticeable that from Brussels they gave the command "Taban" (reverse) to victorious reports and desires to help the Nationalists in Ukraine

This is not Bratushki already, but a "state with reduced social responsibility" .. I believe that Russia, as the legal successor of the Russian Empire and the USSR, should already denounce the San Stefano peace treaty ...

And what should they do, bent into a ram's horn. Not for this, the CMEA alliance was first destroyed, and then the USSR.

[Bagatur]

The treaty was denounced back in Berlin in 1878. With the participation and approval of Russia.

[Senior seaman]

Russian approval

A little wrong. Russia was forced to recognize the San Stefano treaty as preliminary and under pressure your future allies Austria-Hungary and Germany agree to the partition of Bulgaria.

Quote: bagatura

After the start of the war in Ukraine, the approval of Russia and Putin went down the drain!

It's sad, but it's your choice. As in 1915.

[Bagatur]

I think you don’t know the fact ... That the anti-Russian coalition had not been beaten again, like 20 years ago, Russia concluded two agreements before the war with England and Austria-Hungary. To London and Reichschad. There are two main points ... 1. There will be no large Slavic (Bulgarian) state in the Balkans, 2. The final results of the war will be approved by all Great forces, which happened in Berlin in the summer of 1878 .. San Stefano and the borders of Bulgaria are indicated in an agreement between Russia and Bliststelnav port dust in the eyes of the Bulgarians and Slavophiles in Russia.

[Senior seaman]

Why is unknown. After the Crimean War, Russia's international authority declined, and concessions had to be made.
But that's not the point...

[Senior seaman]

By the way, happy holiday to you.

[Bagatur]

Thanks! Thanks, in our opinion))

[pavlov viahislav]

Apparently, Westerners are looking for options for real assistance to the dying Bandera regime. This case turned out to be a dead end - even if they find pilots and base them on Polish airfields, then the 29th moments transferred to the Armed Forces of Ukraine, plus 25 dryers, simply will not reach even Kyiv in range. So, they will look for other options.

[tihonmarine]

As indicated in the publication, in Sofia, which depends on energy supplies and tourist flow from the Russian Federation, they are afraid to aggravate relations with the Kremlin:

A strong stance against the Russian advance could hurt Bulgaria.

Another sensible thought has been expressed. Sitting on the priest evenly when big states are tied up in the game is the most reasonable thing for small and not free countries.

Some really should think that they will all be taken on a pencil and it’s good, they won’t be

[Normann]

And from whom is this country going to defend itself? Someone wants to attack)) Why))
She is fighters to Ukraine ... The sense from several MIGs would be extremely doubtful.

[Dva parovoza]

Are not the MiGs that Europe sent to service in Central Ukraine bypassing Russia for service in Central Ukraine trying to privatize the Black Sea Diggers?

The attitude of the Bulgarians towards Putin and Russia has changed dramatically due to the war in Ukraine

The war in Ukraine, with its casualties, suffering, destruction and the future of Europe at stake, has dramatically changed public opinion in Bulgaria, an Alpha Research poll shows. In four days of fighting, Russian President Vladimir Putin, who has enjoyed a positive rating in Bulgaria for years, has lost more than half of his popularity in the country. If in the period 2020-2022 from 55% to 58% of Bulgarians gave it a positive assessment and only 20% negative, now the situation is changing radically. Positive opinions almost halved to 32%, while negative ones increased to 48%. The escalation of aggression, loss of life on both sides and the threat of the use of nuclear weapons are factors that have turned the views of people, more than three-quarters of whom consider Russia's invasion of Ukraine unjustified. In these crucial days, until recently, the unknown President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky won the sympathy of 40% of respondents, 29% have a negative attitude towards him.

In 2019 was American center Pew Research published a study on the attitude towards Russia and President Vladimir Putin in different countries of the world. The highest level of sympathy was in Bulgaria, where 73% of respondents declared their love for the Russian Federation, and 62% declared their confidence in Putin. The survey was conducted in 2019 in 33 countries around the world, according to the Pew Research Center website. Following Bulgaria in the list of sympathies is Slovakia, 60% of whose inhabitants expressed support for Russia and 49% for Vladimir Putin. Next is Greece, where 58% of respondents expressed confidence in the policy of the Russian Federation, and the Philippines - 56%.

If banned, it’s not because of ip ... Shas on Bulgarian forums is full of the same type of comments from the troll factory from one big country that was forbidden to call war a war .... And so the traditionally positive attitude towards Russia has changed to a sharply negative one. It is a fact.

[Senior seaman]

Congratulations, dear colleague.

[pytar]

Thank you Ivan! Happy holiday! There are celebrations all over the country! Despite the very bad weather, a lot of people again gathered at Shipki! Bulgarian TV channels broadcast live holiday programs, concerts, in which dozens of Russian performers are visiting! It seems that flights were stopped, but we have a lot of Russians who came so that we could all celebrate the Holiday together! Deep bow to the Heroes who fell for our Freedom!

[Senior seaman]

It's good. The past must be remembered. Both good and bad.
Once again, congratulations.

Despite the very bad weather, which made the summit difficult to reach, thousands of Bulgarians climbed Shipki. Here are some photos from March 3rd.

The Romanians can fit the MiG-21. They still have plenty of them. About 30 pieces. The Romanians also have the S-75 air defense system, but not the Dvina, but the Volkhov. Also ukram can fit.
