President of the National Assembly of the Republic of Bulgaria Rosen Zhelyazkov during his speech at the Second Parliamentary Summit of the International Crimea Platform remarked the Bulgarian Parliament has authorized the provision of S-300 anti-aircraft missiles, over a hundred military vehicles, and additional ammunition to the Ukrainian Defense Forces. To support Ukraine’s immediate and long-term energy needs the Republic of Bulgaria is negotiating the sale of two nuclear reactors.
