The website of the Ministry of Defense was attacked, the attack was reflected back.

Bulgaria's involvement in the explosion of the Crimean bridge and the cyberattacks are concerted actions.

This was stated by the acting Minister of Defense Dimitar Stoyanov

Dimitar Stoyanov was born on October 28, 1968 in Svilengrad.

In 1986, he appeared in the show "Wake Up" on Nova TV. 

The official minister was categorical that our country does not export weapons to Ukraine.

And he added that the Ministry of Defense has never exported weapons to anywhere. 

Maybe the next parlamnet will adopt some kind of declaration.

At the moment, it is accepted that Bulgaria provides military-technical assistance.

We are working in this direction.

The caretaker government made two donations.

We involve ourselves in any way in the decision of the parliament.

Whether there will be another solution remains to be seen, he added. 

Galab Donev: Bulgaria had no complicity in the preparation of the explosion of the Crimean bridge

Bulgaria does not have many surplus weapons, not to say that it does not have many serviceable weapons.

If we had, the Army would not face such difficulties.

We have a serious problem with the maintenance of the equipment and a large percentage of it is faulty.

I don't see what we can give out of the serviceable one we have.

This will disrupt our capabilities, Stoyanov pointed out.

If we donate weapons, how will we fulfill our national security obligations? asked the acting defense minister. 

According to him, there are signals from Ukraine demanding that our country help with weapons.

They have a certain wish list of what to be provided to them by the parties.

But I say again - Bulgaria does not have so many surplus weapons to be provided.

We will simply lose our abilities, Stoyanov is categorical. 

The Minister of Defense explained that the Eastern Flank has already been reinforced.

There are four multinational battle groups - Bulgaria, Romania, Hungary and Slovakia.

This is the strategic concept under which the battalion battle groups were created.

Bulgaria is no exception.

Russia defined us as an enemy country, and not only us.

I don't think we are a weak link in NATO, we have proven that we are a reliable ally, explained Stoyanov. 

According to him, Russia's involvement of Bulgaria in the explosion in Crimea has an internal political impact. 

We have seen the division over the invitations of ambassadors.

Even without outside interference, there is instability in politics because I see the reluctance of the parties to even talk to each other.

I expect negotiations to be held and a government to be formed, the defense minister added. 

Valentin Radev: We have been sending weapons to Ukraine for a long time, but in the wrong way

The use of nuclear weapons, Stoyanov commented, is seen as deterrent, not offensive.

Threats coming from Russia should be taken seriously.

I personally hope that reason will prevail and that it will hardly be allowed to reach a nuclear war.

Because in such a situation there will be no winner", he believes. It is deterrent, not offensive.

threats from the Russian side must be taken seriously.

I hope there won't be a nuclear strike, because there won't be a winner, Stoyanov pointed out.
