Bulgarians in the Odessa region number over 150,000 people and are the third largest according to the latest official census in Ukraine.

Ukraine is on the verge of financial catastrophe due to the failure of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) programs. This was stated by the deputy of the Verkhovna Rada, the head of the Finance Committee Danilo Hetmantsev, according to the Ukrainian edition of Novosti, quoted by Gazeta and FOKUS.
According to Hetmantsev, Ukraine should receive a total of $8.5 billion from the IMF.
"The fact that Ukraine may not receive them is a reality. We are on the verge of interrupting the program with the IMF. There will be a financial catastrophe if we do not fulfill these obligations to the IMF. It will be bad for everyone," he said.
Hetmantsev emphasized that there will be no tranche if the conditions of the program are not met. "This could lead to the cessation of social payments in the coming months," he warned.
Most people in Germany are ready to provide more support to Ukraine in its efforts to resist a full-scale Russian invasion, a poll cited by DPA and BTA shows.
Around 52% of respondents said the West should provide more aid to Ukraine if Russia is not ready to agree to an end to the conflict.
Meanwhile, 28% of respondents in the INSA poll believe that this support should include both military and financial aid.
According to the survey commissioned by the newspaper "Bild", another 12% believe that the aid should take the form of either financial resources or weapons.
At the same time, 35% of respondents say Germany should end its support for Ukraine, while 13% did not answer.
The survey also shows that Germans continue to fear a wider military conflict – 54% are concerned that Russia could attack a NATO member such as Poland or Lithuania. However, this is about 8 percentage points less than a poll conducted in September last year.
The survey surveyed 1,002 people and was conducted on February 5 and 6.
