Това е човек обучаван от КГБ и ДС; човек който умишлено лъже народа, че е реформатор и после почва да става милионер за сметка на държавния бюджет; човек предал всички свои политически партньори; агент на чужда държава и т.н.

According to @politico, Bulgaria's export control authority licensed Circles BG, a Sofia-based surveillance company, to sell interception systems, mobile-tracking tools, and surveillance infrastructure to intelligence agencies in Azerbaijan, Serbia, Malaysia, and Mexico - countries with documented human rights concerns: https://t.co/Y5EKFlAb8Z

Circles is an affiliate of the NSO Group, the Israeli firm behind the Pegasus spyware, which has been used to target political figures worldwide. One of its founders, Tal Dilian - a former Israeli military intelligence commander - was sanctioned by the U.S. in 2024 for allegedly developing spyware used against journalists and government officials. Dilian also co-founded Intellexa, behind the Predator spyware that triggered Greece's 2022 "Predatorgate" scandal.

- Azerbaijan – Its Foreign Intelligence Service purchased server infrastructure and a mobile-tower tracking system, with the license valid through late 2023 - covering the most consequential months of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.
- Serbia – The interior ministry bought a portable phone surveillance and location-tracking device just months before the December 2023 elections. Amnesty International later reported that Serbian authorities used spyware against journalists and civil society.
- UAE – The Signals Intelligence Agency and Electronic Government Authority each purchased an interception system called "Voice Over Location Enabler" (VOLE) in 2018 and 2019.
- Malaysia – Military intelligence obtained a VOLE system worth over $52,000, including installation and training, through the country's largest telecom provider.
- Mexico – A tactical signals intelligence system for locating and monitoring mobile devices was exported to the government of Michoacán, a state long affected by cartel violence and organized crime.

End users were also listed in Bahrain, Brazil, the Dominican Republic, Ghana, Guatemala, El Salvador, Jordan, Morocco, and Panama.

NSO Group itself made purchases from Circles BG in October 2021 worth nearly $120,000, with the technology eventually transferred to Israel's Home Front Command. NSO Group was placed on the U.S. Commerce Department's Entity List in November 2021, though Circles BG itself does not appear on any U.S. sanctions list.

The European Commission is expected to present a revised dual-use export control proposal by early 2027, but critics note that many surveillance systems blend commercial hardware with intrusion software, making them difficult to regulate under current rules. Human Rights Watch, which published the underlying report, argues the exports are clear evidence of systemic gaps in oversight.

⚡️ BREAKING: Zelensky issued an ultimatum to the dictator of Belarus. Will it lead to direct confrontation?

“I am not offended by Lukashenko’s words, but along the borders with Ukraine there is equipment that adjusts fire on Ukraine.

I am giving a week for it to be withdrawn, otherwise we will do it ourselves.”

⚡ Zelenskyy: "We do not want this war and never have. (...) But if Ukraine burns, your Moscow will burn too."

[EUvsDisinfo @EUvsDisinfo]

Sanctions disrupted parts of Russia’s state media ecosystem. The Kremlin responded by investing more heavily in alternative channels, including online personalities. 

Propaganda may arrive as a travel vlog, making Kremlin talking points feel more relatable while being financed by Russian state-linked companies. 

Alexandra Jost is one example.

🤯 Russian military drone simulator developers travel freely in the West.

Developers have continued traveling across Europe and the U.S. since 2022 despite their software’s integration into Russia's military training pipeline.

🚨 BULGARIAN DEFENCE MINISTER HALTS MILITARY AID TO UKRAINE 🚨

Guys, the Bulgarian government seriously needs to start paying me, because every time these incompetent clowns open their mouths, I have to translate their provincial talking points - masquerading as foreign policy - into a language comprehensible to people with an IQ above room temperature.

Let's clarify something first: Bulgaria doesn't provide military aid to Ukraine. We did - in the early days of the war, and it was crucial. We emptied our reserves: ammo, shells, tanks (some reportedly pulled from museums, lol), diesel, etc. Zelenskyy thanked us. Politico wrote about it years after the fact, that's done. We have nothing more to give.

What Bulgaria does have is a robust private arms manufacturing sector running 24/7, three shifts, selling arms and ammo to Ukraine. The government cannot stop that. They wouldn't even if they could. Worst case - it all gets filed under "3rd party" - it goes to Germany or Poland and then ends up on the battlefield in Ukraine.

Just to illustrate how genuinely illiterate the current Bulgarian government is: two days ago, Bulgaria's Foreign Minister told French media that Ukraine must be armed and Russia - sanctioned. Today, the Defence Minister performs the opposite for a domestic audience of Soviet-coded grandmas on blood pressure meds.

These morons can't even coordinate their own messaging. 🤦‍♀️

This will play out exactly like Czechia and Slovakia - government talks tough, orc body counts keep climbing courtesy of locally produced weapons and ammunition.

Bottom line: Bulgaria is an irrelevant player on the European geopolitical chessboard. File this under noise. Ignore, and move on.

So, Germany now doesn’t have a vote at UN Security Council , but somehow Russia, who’s been bombing its neighbour right as we speak somehow does? World is a peculiar place right now.

[SK Media @SpaghettiKozak]

@joni_askola @freenationsrf Germans should look at what Hungary was like under Orban and seriously think if that's what they want. No country that went with russia prospered from the deal.

[Johnny FD @JohnnyFDK]

Right now in Moscow there are American bloggers who went on an all expenses paid trip to go spread Russian Propaganda.

Meanwhile, I came to Kyiv on my own dime to show the world the truth about the war.

No one is paying me to be here, unlike Candace Owens who is a paid Russian shill.

[Kate from Kharkiv @BohuslavskaKate]

Did you hear her, Europe? One of Russia's main propagandists is openly telling you that they are your enemy.

Kremlin's talking head, whose only purpose is to deliver their talking points to the public, is saying they are fighting *you*. Is this enough of a wake-up call?

This was a Russian attack on Kyiv, a metropolis of 3 million people, last night.

​Don't just watch, act! Contact your representatives, demand support for Ukraine and more pressure on Russia, spread the word, if you can donate to charities you trust.

Oleksandr Usyk says his family is texting him from Ukraine that they are currently under Russian bombing 💔

[Iryna Voichuk @IrynaVoichuk]

Kyiv tonight.

Amid explosions and russian attacks, people lean out of their windows shouting: “Usyk! Usyk! Usyk!” “Slava Ukraini!” “Heroiam slava!”

A city refusing to let fear become its only voice.

[Grim Creeper @OrkReaper]

Time to remove Russia from the UN.
