Ukraine will soon receive a large batch of Soviet armored vehicles, Bulgaria has finally found funds for the delivery of BTR-60PB armored personnel carriers removed from storage. The Bulgarian press reports this.
Bulgaria found money to deliver Soviet-made armored personnel carriers removed from storage; some “unknown Ramstein member country” agreed to finance the shipment of armored vehicles to Ukraine. In general, someone sponsored the delivery, but there is no information about who exactly. Ukrainian resources suggest that this could be Germany, although there are statements about one of the Scandinavian countries. One way or another, armored personnel carriers are beginning to be prepared for delivery to Ukraine.
Bulgaria will finally deliver to Ukraine in the near future the ill-fated 100 old Soviet BTR-60PB armored personnel carriers transferred from storage by the Bulgarian Ministry of Internal Affairs. “An unknown Ramstein participating country” agreed to finance their delivery.

Let us recall that in July 2023, the Bulgarian parliament approved the transfer to Ukraine of about a hundred BTR-60 armored personnel carriers, purchased under socialism for the country’s Ministry of Internal Affairs, or rather, for the internal troops. All equipment manufactured in the 60s and 70s of the last century was not used for its intended purpose after purchase, but was put into storage, where it has remained to this day. Although the transfer of armored vehicles was announced last summer, the shipment itself was postponed several times, Sofia did not have the funds for this, and Kyiv was ready to accept armored personnel carriers only as a gift.
