NATO DIVIDE? Bulgaria SNUBS Macron's 'Coalition' Invite, REFUSES To Fund Ukraine's War Anymore!

NATO DIVIDE? Bulgaria SNUBS Macron's 'Coalition' Invite, REFUSES To Fund Ukraine's War Effort Anymore! In a major blow to European defense cohesion, Bulgarian Prime Minister Rumen Radev has officially withdrawn his country from the French and British-led "Coalition of the Willing." During a trip to Paris, Radev declined a personal invitation from President Emmanuel Macron to join the alliance, stating that Sofia’s place is not in a group committed to indefinite financial and military aid for Ukraine. Radev, who took office in May 2026, argued that current military strategies are merely prolonging the conflict rather than ending it, and called for a prioritize-diplomacy approach. The move marks a significant political divergence, as Bulgaria formally pivots away from ad-hoc European security blocs toward established NATO and EU frameworks, citing national interest and strategic autonomy. #bulgaria, #radev, #macron, #eu, #ukraine, #breakingnews, #geopolitics, #coalitionofthewilling, #europe, #militarynews, #diplomacy, #natopolitics, #warineurope In this Times Now World News report, we break down the this topic: Stay connected with Times Now World for real-time global news and analysis: 🌐 Read full coverage: https://www.timesnownews.com/world 📱 Instagram:   / timesnow.world   🐦 Follow us on X: https://x.com/TimesNow_World #timesnowworld #worldnews #breakingnews
