Two million people fleeing the war have already sought refuge in Poland. Tens of thousands of Ukrainians are in Poland’s neighboring countries.

Bulgaria’s head of state Radev has invited President Andrzej Duda to visit Sofia in the coming days, to boost defense cooperation and further enhance high-level dialogue in areas of mutual interest.
