Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and Bulgaria's Acting Prime Minister Andrey Gyurov have signed a bilateral security cooperation agreement.

Zelensky said this at a joint press conference with Gyurov in Kyiv on Monday, Ukrinform reports.

"Today, together with the Prime Minister of Bulgaria, we signed a security agreement between our countries. Our teams worked on it for a long time. I am very pleased that we now have this agreement – a ten-year one – between our states," Zelensky said.

He stressed that Bulgaria will continue providing military support to Ukraine.

"An important point we also discussed today is joint production on the territory of our countries of various types of weapons, including drones. I would like to express gratitude for agreeing that Bulgaria will use the SAFE program for such co-production. I believe this strengthens both our countries," Zelensky said.

He added that energy cooperation was also a key topic, along with Bulgaria's participation in supporting Ukraine through international mechanisms.
