According to Zhelyazkov, the Bulgarian authorities are taking preventive measures to safeguard the country's critical infrastructure – particularly the Lukoil refinery. The Bulgarian National Security Council has preliminarily announced that this includes inspections and the preparation of military police, as well as the deployment of a counter-drone system. This comes after Bulgaria adopted legislative changes last week, allowing itself to confiscate the oil refinery and sell it to a new owner. Bulgaria hosts a large oil refinery in Burgas, which is owned by Lukoil and supplies up to 80% of the country's fuel. The Russian company traditionally holds significant economic influence over Bulgaria.
