Bulgaria entered Politico’s ranking of the most read stories in 2023, reports BGNES.
The article, titled “Bulgaria to the rescue: How the EU’s poorest country secretly bailed out Ukraine,” came in at number 12 on Politico’s most-read stories of 2023.
“In the spring of 2022, the Ukrainian military experienced a desperate shortage of the fuel and Soviet-caliber ammunition it needed to fight the Russians. According to an investigation by Politico’s sister publication The Velt, the aid (unknown to the rest of the world) is coming from a surprising place: Bulgaria. “Sofia has provided Kiev with fuel and vital Soviet-spec weapons, but must keep the supplies secret because of pro-Moscow politicians in the government,” they wrote.
Other articles on this list include: “Geert Wilders is the EU’s worst nightmare”, “China is secretly sending Russia enough weapons to equip an army”, “Israeli official criticizes Greta Thunberg after she supports Palestinians in Gaza”. and others.
At the beginning of the year, the German newspaper “Die Welt” wrote that “Bulgaria secretly covered a third of the weapons and 40% of the diesel needs of the Ukrainian army last year.”
This is the story of a secret strategy with which Bulgaria helps Ukraine despite the opposition of some circles. The poorest country in the EU, which was long believed to be loyal to Moscow, showed courage at the right moment, which can be taken as an example by the rest,” the publication wrote at the time.
