Footage released by the outlet on April 29 shows a man saying he believed Western countries were sending weapons to Ukraine in order to “put pressure” on Russia. “They don’t care about Ukrainians. They don’t care about anybody. They are only doing this for the money,” the man said, according to a translation provided by RFE/RL. Another man said the West was sending weapons to Ukraine to prolong the war. “Why do you put firewood in a stove?” he asked, according to the translation. “To make a stronger fire.” One woman said it was because of animosity toward Russia. "They hate Russia and want us to become weak,” she said, according to the translation. “They want to defeat Russia, but Russia is undefeatable,” she added.

Speaking in Kyiv on April 28, Bulgaria’s Prime Minister Kiril Petkov said his government would repair damaged Ukrainian military equipment, while Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky said his country was “ready to supply electricity to Bulgaria.” The meeting took place a day after the Russian energy giant Gazprom said it was cutting gas supplies to Bulgaria and Poland over their failure to pay in rubles. In a joint press conference after the meeting, Zelensky said the pair discussed supplying gas to Bulgaria via the Trans-Balkan pipeline and the potential transport of agricultural products from Ukraine through the Bulgarian port of Varna. The agreements came as Bulgaria’s coalition government continued to debate whether to send military aid to Ukraine. On April 25, Petkov, frustrated by the ongoing debate, launched a charity fund for the Ukrainian government and called on citizens to donate their salaries — a move opposing politicians said was insensitive to the more than a million B

A Florida sheriff said that homeowners in his county were “more than welcome” to shoot intruders and that doing so would “save the taxpayers money” during a press conference on April 21. Sheriff Bob Johnson was speaking about the arrest of Brandon Harris, who was shot at while attempting to break into a home in a subdivision, when he made the remarks. Sheriff Johnson said: “If somebody’s breaking into your house, you’re more than welcome to shoot him in Santa Rosa County. We prefer that you do, actually.” He continued: “We have a gun-safety class we put on every other Saturday, and if you take that you’ll shoot a lot better and hopefully you’ll save the taxpayers money.” Harris, the home intruder who was shot at, was taken into custody and charged, Johnson said.
