Only two Bulgarians are currently fighting in Ukraine and shooting at Russians, the military ministry in Kyiv announced on Friday. The table showed the number of foreign troops fighting in Ukraine. It shows that there were three Bulgarians, but one gave up and returned home.
“Data coming from Ria Novosti and the Russian Foreign Ministry can only be commented on with ridicule. We know that the data coming from them are completely fabricated in order to strengthen their policy towards the Republic of Bulgaria and to undermine the activities of Bulgarians fighting for the freedom of Ukraine, “the Macedonian-Bulgarian Foreign Battalion told Telegraf. Todor Alexandrov “. The rangers even told us that only part of them are about 50 people at the moment.
Breakdown
The Russian Ministry of Defense reports that a total of 6,956 foreign mercenaries have arrived in Ukraine since the start of the war, with 1,956 already destroyed and 1,779 leaving the country. According to them, the volunteers are from 64 countries as of June 17. Interestingly, in first place in the number of commandos are Poles – 1181 people, followed by Romanians, who are 304, and English. In the column of Bulgaria it can be seen that one person has already left Ukraine. “In general, a person has the opportunity to” escape “, but in most cases it is a matter of voluntary release from a group if the person does not have sufficient experience or psyche,” explained the Todor Alexandrov Battalion.

“According to our rough estimates, there is about a full battalion of Bulgarians in Ukraine. Its number in the lower limit is about 300-400 soldiers. Many of them are of Bulgarian origin, Bessarabian Bulgarians, but they were born in Ukraine, “the battalion explained. They added that they are currently on a short break in their activities because “the battlefield does not allow reconnaissance missions due to ping-pong from artillery on both sides.” When asked why such numbers of Bulgarians are released from Moscow, they said that the Kremlin probably wants to confirm the opinion that the majority of Bulgarians are Russophiles.
