There are about 87,000 Ukrainian refugees in Bulgaria. Nearly 26,000 were accommodated in hotels and state facilities under the government programme that will continue until 31 August, indicate data of the portal "Bulgaria for Ukraine".

The teaching of Bulgarian language, which relies on the enthusiasm of the NGO sector, is a stumbling block for the integration of refugees in Bulgaria.
