 NATO's Deputy Secretary-General and the Bulgarian Prime Minister attended a NATO drill in Bulgaria on Friday, November 10.That iron strike 2023 drill brought together troops from Albania, Bulgaria, Greece, Italy, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Turkey, the United States, and Romania, participating in artillery exercises. Bulgarian PM Nikolai Denkov said the geopolitical situation in the region is changing rapidly and he stressed that although cooperation between NATO countries on the alliances, Eastern flank has advanced in the two years since the outbreak of the war in Ukraine it needs to go further. We need to meet them, we need to have prepared armed forces, we need to have very clear cooperation with our neighbors, from Romania, from Turkey, from the neighboring countries and the law today shows that two years ago we have advanced a lot, but we need to continue ahead. The eight allies of the Bulgarian territory work together, work together, and are ready to defend the potential of the aggressor and defend our country and our security and the security of the Eastern flank of NATO at that time and when it comes. I even see some of my fellow Romanians coming specially for this operation in Bulgaria.
