A case involving Bulgarian citizen Liubomir Kirov has drawn attention in both Sofia and Kyiv, sparking political and public debate. According to the Bulgarian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Kirov holds dual citizenship - Bulgarian and Ukrainian - and under Ukrainian law is subject to mobilization into the Armed Forces when present on the country’s territory. He reported the incident to Bulgarian media and appealed on social networks, stating that his son would not survive frontline conditions. President Rumen Radev requested details from the Foreign Ministry about the circumstances of Kirov’s case and asked whether any measures have been undertaken to protect him. Despite these disputes, the Bulgarian Foreign Ministry maintains its position: while it cannot interfere with Ukraine’s sovereign laws, it will continue to monitor developments closely, keep dialogue open with Kyiv, and extend consular protection to the extent possible.
