The parliamentary delegation headed by the Speaker of the National Assembly, Rosen Zhelyazkov, which is on an official visit to Kyiv, was evacuated early this morning to a bomb shelter because of the Russian missile attacks, BGNES reports. 

"Sirens sounded and according to protocol we all went down to the bomb shelter together," Rosen Zhelyaskov told a BNT reporter. "What made a very strong impression on all of us were the children who calmly and patiently stood and waited with their parents for the air raid to pass. Ukraine does not deserve this fate, Europe does not deserve this fate, therefore the answer must be clear and definite."

The visit of the Bulgarian delegation takes place under enhanced security measures.
