The curfew in place in Kyiv – from 5 PM today until 8 AM on Monday – is making the evacuation of Bulgarians from the city more complicated, Bulgaria’s Foreign Minister Teodora Genchovska said at a briefing at the Foreign Ministry.

Two more buses have arrived in front of the Bulgarian embassy there, but a green evacuation corridor has to be created before they can start on their way. A safe route is being sought for their transportation to Bulgaria. Three buses have departed from Odessa, with four Italian citizens among the passengers. Another two buses will depart tomorrow. Teams of Bulgarian diplomats will be available to provide assistance.
