An inscription saying "Hands off Ukraine" was painted Saturday night on the Soviet Army monument in Sofia.
The slogan was triggered by the unanimous approval of Russia's upper house on Saturday of the decision of President Putin to use military force on Ukrainian territory.
The Soviet Army monument has been repeatedly spraypainted with political statements by anonymous groups of street artists.
On February 23, one of the figures of soldiers was painted in yellow and blue, the colors of Ukraine's national flag, alongside the inscriptions "Glory to Ukraine" and "Kaputin." Russia's Foreign Ministry expressed deep indignation over "the latest case of vandalism" against the Soviet Army monument in Sofia.
On August 21 2013, the monument was painted pink in honour of the anniversary of the Prague spring. There was an inscription reading "Bulgaria apologizes" underneath, referring to Bulgaria's support for the invasion of Czechoslovakia by the armies of five Warsaw Pact countries in order to crush the Prague Spring uprising.
In June 2011, the metal soldiers of the monument were painted as pop culture icons such as Batman, Captain America, Ronald Macdonald, Santa Claus, etc, with an inscription "in step with the times" underneath.
