Bulgaria will no longer send weapons to Ukraine, the country’s Defense Minister Dimitar Stoyanov announced Tuesday, Politico reports.

The move cements the new Bulgarian government’s opposition to EU support for Ukraine after Russia-aligned Prime Minister Rumen Radev won a parliamentary election in a landslide in April.

“We have already made it clear that the war in Ukraine will not be resolved on the battlefield. We are witnessing a war of attrition, and no matter how much weaponry is amassed, the only result is the loss of human lives. It is time to sit down at the negotiating table,” Stoyanov said at a press conference on Tuesday.

In addition to halting aid for Ukraine, Stoyanov unveiled the government’s plan to increase Bulgaria’s defense spending to the NATO-mandated 5 percent of GDP as Radev had previously promised.
