Bulgaria's Military Support to Ukraine: Aid, Accusations, and APCs

Bulgaria has sent its largest one-time military aid package to Ukraine, consisting of 100 armoured vehicles, mostly infantry carrier vehicles. The equipment, purchased 40 years ago during the Revival Process, was never used and has been in storage. This marks Sofia's first official decision to provide heavy equipment assistance to Kyiv. Bulgaria hopes to receive replacement military capabilities from the US in return. The country is one of the few NATO members with large quantities of Soviet weapons and ammunition, which are used by the Ukrainian army.

France boosts military spending with focus on drones, space, and reservists.

France is set to invest €413 billion in its military over the next seven years, with a focus on drones and space technology to deal with "operational emergencies". The increased spending is justified by the "very rapid deterioration of the geopolitical context" and technological advancements. However, some programmes, such as the Scorpion programme to renew the army's armoured component, will bear the brunt of budget and procurement decisions, with some equipment not arriving in as large a number as expected by 2030.
