Evacuation of 14 people from the crew of the Tzarevna is underway - 13 Bulgarians and one Ukrainian citizen, Prime Minister Kiril Petkov said. The crew of the Bulgarian bulk carrier Tzarevna have been stranded in the port of Mariupol since the beginning of the war.
The sailors are already outside the port of Mariupol and are to be moved to the Ukrainian city of Donetsk, from where they will return to Bulgaria.
The critical meters they had to cross from the ship to land have been made and they are now safe, Petkov said. The rest of the crew - three Bulgarians, two Ukrainians and the ship's captain - have remained on board on their own accord.
The evacuated Ukrainian national is a cadet from the Naval School in Varna, the Tzarevna's operator said.
