Bulgaria US Military Drills׃ NATO steps up presence in Eastern Europe to counter Russian threat

Over the weekend Bulgaria held military drills jointly with the US; the first in a series of exercises to be conducted over the next three and a half months according to the Bulgarian defence ministry. This comes following exercises earlier this week in which NATO's Black Sea members Bulgaria, Romania and Turkey joined four other NATO states - the United States, Canada, Germany and Italy - in a multi-national naval drill in the Black Sea.
