Bulgaria has arrested 12 people who officials say were part of a criminal group illegally exporting goods to Russian troops in Ukraine. Deputy Prosecutor-General Maria Pavlova said on October 10 that the group exported "dual-use goods" -- products intended for civilian use that can also be used for military purposes -- in violation of sanctions imposed by the EU on Moscow because of its war against Ukraine. The exported goods included optical sights, binoculars, aviation radios, and computer software. To read the original story by RFE/RL's Bulgarian Service, click here.
