   While Zelensky was in Sofia, Bulgaria and Ukraine signed a joint declaration on the Euro-Atlantic integration of the war-torn country and a memorandum of cooperation in the field of energy.

   “The main focus of our talks is, of course, the security of our countries and our entire Europe, defense support and defense cooperation. The fundamental priority is energy. And strengthening our unity in Europe,” he said on Telegram.
   “We are grateful for the support provided by Bulgaria… Every state has the right to defend itself, to protect its children,” Zelensky told reporters.
   His visit comes as Bulgaria was preparing to approve sending military aid directly to Ukraine, reversing its former practice of delivering arms to Kyiv via third countries.

   “Almost everything we received in the early days of the conflict came from our Bulgarian partners,” Ukraine presidential adviser Mykhailo Podolyak recently said on Bulgarian television NOVA.

2. It’s also whispered (dunno if confirmed already) that the provisional government, put forward by the pro-russia Radev, shot down Ukrainian attempts at talks for the nuclear plant stuff. There had even been attempts to strike a deal with a French company to build the reactors with the current equipment, but they didn’t have enough time to do that.
