A delegation comprising representatives from the "Vazrazhdane" and "ABV" parties has sparked controversy by visiting Russia upon the invitation of Vladimir Putin's ruling party, "United Russia."

"I don't know if Crimea is Russian. Can I not answer if Putin is an aggressor? The Ukrainian flag will not be on the building of the Sofia Municipality. During local elections, we have to talk about Putin and chemtrails, seriously?"

Since the morning, the Monument to the Soviet Army has been cordoned off with high and thick fences, BTA reported.

In the area of the monument, which is located in the Prince's Garden, there is an increased police presence, uniformed law enforcement officers have surrounded the monument on all its sides.

An attack on the monument to the Soviet Army took place last night. Young men broke with a hammer the plaque on the monument known as MOCHA - Monument to the Occupier Red Army, and also attacked with smoke the tent camp that the party "Levitsata" had set up there to guard the monument.
