The mayor of Sofia Yordanka Fandakova banned the "Immortal Regiment" procession on the grounds that the use of Russian and Soviet flags could be interpreted as support for Russia in the war with Ukraine. However, the march in memory of those who died in the battle against fascism started from the Monument to the Unknown Soldier and reached the Soviet Army Monument.
The participants in the procession laid flowers to the Soviet Army Monument. Meanwhile, other citizens chanted "This is not Moscow" and demanded the demolition of the Soviet Army Monument. The two groups were separated by a police cordon. The march also took place in Plovdiv and other Bulgarian cities where the "Immortal Regiment" procession was not banned.
