The Ministry of Defence has not sold and/or made available to NATO countries Su-25 aircraft destined for Ukraine. This was stated by the defence monistry to the media as regards information in "Bloomberg" that Bulgaria had sold 14 Soviet-made Su-25 ground-attack jets to NATO member states, which had delivered them to Ukraine.

An article by Michael Winfrey, who heads the Dutch analytical project Oryx, states what military aid Kiev has received from its Western allies, at what value and in what quantities.

The purchase of Bulgaria’s Su-25 front-line aircraft is also cited in the aircraft section. The Ministry of Defence denied that Bulgaria had sold attack bombers of this type. The air force has a total of 14 Su-25s, 8 of which have been fully upgraded, for which the state paid 85 million BGN to the Belarusian company Baramovich in 2019.

Caretaker Foreign Minister Nikolai Milkov said earlier today that he also had no such information:

"No, I don't have such information, sorry - I haven't even followed that story in Bloomberg, this is the first I've heard of it, so I couldn't answer that question."
