Kyiv on the drone crash: The incident is a consequence of Russian aggression

Ukraine categorically rejected accusations of a deliberate attack against Bulgaria after a fallen drone was discovered on our territory, matching the characteristics of those used by the Ukrainian army.

"We are in close contact with the Bulgarian side to clarify the circumstances surrounding what happened," said an official representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Kyiv.

The Ukrainian side emphasizes that:

  • There is full readiness for cooperation with Bulgarian investigative authorities.
  • The main reason for such incidents in the region remains the war started by the Russian Federation.
  • The drone is being viewed as an object for in-depth technical analysis in order to establish its origin and trajectory.
