Nearly 200 Ukrainian refugees can be accommodated in four hotels and two guest houses in Tsarevo Municipality (Southeastern Bulgaria) operating under the government's refugee resettlement programme. The Bulgarian Red Cross in the coastal town of Tsarevo continues to raise donations.

More than 3.3 million Ukrainians have fled their country since the beginning of the war. Intense street fighting hampered attempts to free hundreds of survivors trapped inside a bombed theatre in Mariupol. According to the Ukrainian army, intense fighting is taking place in the Donetsk and Luhansk regions.  

The city of Mykolaiv was again subject to missile attacks. There are no official casualty figures. In a video address, Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky asked the Russian citizens whether they were aware of the number of Russian casualties, noting that 14,000 Russian soldiers had already died during the war.

 President Volodymyr Zelensky is expected to address the Israel Knesset on Sunday, as Israel is still maintaining a working relationship with Russia and is trying to mediate an end to the war. Volodymyr Zelensky already talked to the lawmakers in the USA, Germany and Great Britain asking them to help Ukraine.
