Ukrainian refugees accommodated in hotels on the Black Sea coast, who have nowhere to go after May 31, will be temporarily received at the accomodation facility of the Ministry of Defence in Sarafovo residential district in Burgas. Refugees will also be received at the refugee centre in Elhovo, Bulgaria’s Deputy Premier Kalina Konstantinova said in a video address. Almost 300 000 Ukrainians have arrived in Bulgaria since the beginning of the Russian aggression in Ukraine. More than 110,000 have received temporary protection and found shelter, Kalina Konstantinova said.
In her words, Bulgaria has been providing "daily care for over 110,000 people" for three months, but can no longer afford to accomodate Ukrainian citizens at first line hotels on the seacost. According to Deputy Premier Kalina Konstantinova, the authorities announced from the very beginning that this was a temporary measure which aimed at helping war refugees to get back on their feet.
The relocation of vulnerable groups, mainly people with disabilities and chronic illnesses, has begun today. Nearly 200 people have been received at accomodation facilities near Burgas and Varna, so they can have access to medical care, the Chairperson of the State Agency for Refugees Mariana Tosheva said for the BNT.
