Bulgaria Continues to Support Ukraine's Military Advancements

Bulgaria's defense committee has approved the provision of older air defense systems and assistance with F-16 training for Ukraine. The move comes as Ukraine faces the threat of Russia targeting its energy infrastructure during the winter. The air defense systems could include Soviet-made S-300 missiles. The decision now moves to the plenary hall for further deliberations, with the support of government-aligned lawmakers. If adopted, the Bulgarian government will negotiate with NATO partners for the deployment of air defenses and coastal anti-ship systems in Bulgaria to strengthen domestic defense capabilities.

"Europe's F-16 Training Approval Awaits Formal U.S. Confirmation"

European countries, led by Denmark and the Netherlands, are waiting for formal approval from the U.S. State Department to begin training Ukrainian pilots on American F-16 fighter jets. The coalition of 11 nations hopes to start the program in August in Denmark, with a training center also set up in Romania. While President Joe Biden has promised to approve the program, the formal request is still being reviewed. The Pentagon needs to ensure that technical manuals, flight simulators, and other materials associated with the jets are ready before signing off on the transfer. Ukrainian officials are urgently requesting F-16s as their forces struggle against Russian lines.
