Pursuant to the decision of 4 October 2024, the text was negotiated between the Bulgarian and Ukrainian sides during expert consultations, proposing minimal updates without imposing significant changes to the text initially approved by the Council of Ministers.

The agreement represents a political commitment to continued support for Ukraine. Bulgaria will also join the Ukraine Compact endorsed at the NATO Summit in Washington in July this year.
