Bulgarian party moves to scrap security agreement with Ukraine

The Bulgarian political party Revival has submitted a parliamentary resolution calling for the termination of a 10-year security agreement with Ukraine, as well as the withdrawal of Bulgaria’s guarantees for an EU credit program for Kyiv.

MP Petar Petrov, who presented the initiative, said the agreement was signed without full parliamentary approval, describing it as problematic in nature and warning that it poses risks to Bulgaria’s national security, Caliber.Az reports via foreign media.

The security agreement between Bulgaria and Ukraine was signed on March 30, with Bulgaria represented by acting Prime Minister Andrey Gyurov.

Separately, the party also proposed revoking Bulgaria’s consent to provide state guarantees amounting to €1.2 billion within a broader €90 billion European loan package for Ukraine.

The party argues that repayment conditions remain unclear and are dependent on future reparations from Russia. 

“We believe that this money should go first and foremost to Bulgarian citizens,” Petrov stated, connecting the proposal to domestic economic pressures. He highlighted rising prices, inflation, and a widening budget deficit as key factors behind the call to redirect state resources toward national priorities.
