"Bulgaria will support children and families seeking refuge from the military conflict in Ukraine," said Bulgaria's President Rumen Radev at a meeting with UNICEF Representative for Bulgaria Christina de Bruin. 

Radev pointed out the opportunities that Bulgaria creates - Ukrainian children to continue their education in Bulgaria and adults to be included in the labour market. The head of state also expressed gratitude to the Bulgarians who opened their homes to our compatriots from Ukraine and to the Ukrainian citizens. 

According to UNICEF, nearly 1 million children have left Ukraine since the start of the war, Christina de Bruin said. She stated the organization was ready to increase its support for the countries to which refugees go.
