"A potential development of the war is an attack on the Odessa region, where the Bulgarian community is concentrated.

Greece failed to protect the ethnic Greeks in Mariupol, but we can send clear signals that we are determined to protect the ethnic Bulgarians. One such signal would be a diplomatic presence in Odessa", the Bulgarian Socialist Party MP wrote.

Vigenin said he was ready to personally accompany Bulgarian diplomats to Odessa.
