The number of Ukrainian citizens with temporary protection in Bulgaria is already higher than the number of those reported by statistics as residing in the country.

There are 103,000 Ukrainians in the country, while those who have been granted protection are 104,600.

Data from the single information portal "Bulgaria for Ukraine" confirms the authorities' expectations that a large number of Ukrainians would leave Bulgaria after it became clear that after 31 May they would have to vacate the hotels and, if they wished, could be relocated to municipal accommodation centers.
