The Council of Ministers adopted a Decision approving a draft of a Joint Declaration between the Republic of Bulgaria and Ukraine regarding the Euro-Atlantic integration of Ukraine.

A bilateral declaration on Ukraine's Euro-Atlantic integration reaffirms Bulgaria's strong political support for the country in its fight against Russian aggression to protect its independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity, and on its path to NATO membership when conditions allow, the Council of Minister press centre said. 

Bulgaria has been a long-standing, consistent and clear supporter of NATO's open door policy, as well as Ukraine's Euro-Atlantic aspirations. Bulgaria will continue its support for Ukraine's membership in NATO, as decided by the NATO Summit in Bucharest in 2008, reaffirmed at subsequent Alliance summits, including in Madrid in June 2022.
