100% increase of Ukrainian citizens arriving at the Bulgarian "Durankulak" border checkpoint has been noted in recent days. The situation has changed dramatically due to the increased flow of people who, after the strike against the railway station in Kramatorsk, prefer to leave Ukraine by bus rather than by train.
Additional staff from both the Bulgarian Red Cross and the Ministry of the Interior have already been assigned to the Durankulak border checkpoint, as well as volunteers who are doing everything possible to register the people coming. Durankulak already has 11 temporary protection points.

The authorities also ask anyone who has information about irregularities in the transportation and accommodation of Ukrainian citizens to send a signal to the Crisis Staff at the Council of Ministers or on the national 24-hour telephone line (+359) 02 9055555.
Bulgaria ranks second in Europe in the percentage of people registered for temporary protection fleeing the war in Ukraine, based on the total number of people staying in the country. In recent days there has been a significant increase in the number of people deciding to stay in Bulgaria.
April 15 is the deadline by which the hotel accommodation program will pay them, regardless of whether the people accommodated there are registered or not. After this period, there will be no way to accommodate in the hotels people who have not sought registration for temporary protection or are not already registered for such
