On the second day of the relocation of the Ukrainian refugees to inland accommodation facilities, only 78 of the planned 140 people left Varna.

Nearly 300 refugees from 3 hotels left Sunny Beach and headed to the inland by bus. Many Ukrainian citizens complained that there was no information on where they would be accommodated, reports Radio Burgas correspondent Daniela Kostadinova.
