The Ukrainian embassy on Monday issued an appeal on its Facebook page for foreign citizens to help in Kyiv's fight against invading Russian forces, although the post was deleted after being republished by some media outlets.

There are twice as many Bulgarians who like Russian President Vladimir Putin. During the four days of hostilities, Putin, who has enjoyed a positive rating in Bulgaria for years, has lost more than half of his popularity in the country.

"The curfew has just ended, a little snow has fallen, several vehicles have been seen on the street since this morning," he said.
The biggest problem at the moment is truck drivers who are at the border crossings with Romania and Hungary. Ukrainians do not allow goods of Russian or Belarusian origin to leave Ukraine.

If necessary, those planes can be deployed at Polish airports, from where Ukrainian pilots will perform combat tasks, it is stated in the announcement published on Facebook, reports the Interfax Ukraine agency.
According to the command of the Ukrainian Air Force, Bulgaria will give 16 MiG-29s and 14 Su-25s, Poland - 28 MiG-29 planes, and Slovakia - 12 MiG-29 planes.

This was stated by the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Serbia, Nikola Selakovi, who added that these efforts, on the contrary, threaten to destabilize the political and security situation in our region.

Karim Khan, chief prosecutor at the International Criminal Court in The Hague, said on Monday that he has decided to proceed "as rapidly as possible" with opening an investigation into possible war crimes and crimes against humanity committed during the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine.

The new body would be open to “foreigners willing to defend Ukraine and [the] world order” from Russian attacks
