A new wave of Ukrainian refugees is heading to the Black Sea resort of Sunny Beach, local hotel owners alarm the authorities. The owners are expecting the state to announce whether the programme under which the Ukrainian refugees are currently staying in their bases will be extended after November 1, BNR correspondent Petya Yanakieva reports from Burgas.
"Because of the worsening situation in Ukraine, many Ukrainian refugees are arriving by bus and heading to Sunny Beach. This second wave is of people in dire need who come from Zaporizhzhya region, from Kiev," said hotelier Elena Andonova.
