60 million euros out of a total of 148 million, allocated under European programs to help Ukrainian refugees, have already been spent, Deputy Prime Minister Assen Vassilev said in the National Assembly.

"These funds will continue to be used for refugee-related activities," he added. According to him, the accommodation of Ukrainian citizens in government bases and hotels of lower class continues. In addition, people are provided with access to the health and education systems. Assen Vassilev said that EU funds were not spent "off-target" and were not used to support businesses or for pensions.
