On the second day of the relocation of the Ukrainian refugees to inland accommodation facilities, only 78 of the planned 140 people left Varna.

Nearly 300 refugees from 3 hotels left Sunny Beach and headed to the inland by bus. Many Ukrainian citizens complained that there was no information on where they would be accommodated, reports Radio Burgas correspondent Daniela Kostadinova.

Meanwhile, more than 5,000 Ukrainians have left Bulgaria in the past 24 hours. Viktor Andrusiev, an adviser to Ukraine's interior minister, said that 60 percent, or 4.8 million, of the 7.6 million refugees who left the country had returned to Ukraine by May 30, and the process was continuing.
