Bulgarian Lawmakers Vote To Send Ukraine Heavy Weapons

The 175-49 vote in favor of the measure marked a rare moment of consensus among Bulgaria's deeply divided political spectrum.

The 175-49 vote in favor of the measure marked a rare moment of consensus among Bulgaria's deeply divided political spectrum. The decision, which will allow supplying Ukraine with heavy guns as well as spare parts, leaves Hungary as the only NATO member to not approve weaponry supplies to Kyiv since the beginning of Russia's unprovoked invasion of Ukraine in late February.
