The Ministry of Defence has not held any talks on the free provision of Bulgarian MiG-29 fighter jets to Ukraine, reads a statement of the defense ministry. Earlier in the day, CNN reported that according to one of the Pentagon documents leaked online, Bulgaria expressed readiness to donate its MiG-29s to Kyiv. 

“Such a decision would lead to a deficit of capabilities which is contrary to the country’s Constitution”, Bulgaria’s Ministry of Defense noted. "Pursuant to the decision of the National Assembly from the end of 2022, the Ministry of Defence has successively held talks on the possibility of implementing the so-called 'triangular deals' to replace some of the available armament with compatible armament from allied countries without allowing a loss of capabilities," the Ministry of Defence said.
