Bulgaria signs declaration for more active participation in Coalition of the Willing

Bulgaria has signed a declaration signaling its readiness to participate more actively in the Coalition of the Willing, a group supporting Ukraine. This move comes despite recent statements from Prime Minister Rumen Radev indicating a reluctance to engage within the coalition.

Foreign Minister Velislava Petrova signed the declaration in Kyiv, a day after Prime Minister Radev had expressed Bulgaria's refusal to work within the coalition framework. The signing suggests a divergence or a shift in the government's stance on its involvement in supporting Ukraine through this specific international alliance.

The specifics of Bulgaria's increased participation remain to be detailed, but the declaration signifies a commitment to a more involved role. This development follows a period of uncertainty regarding Bulgaria's position within the coalition, highlighting a complex dynamic in the country's foreign policy regarding the conflict in Ukraine.
