Another tragic story from the war – this time from the Bulgarian district of Tarnovka in the city of Nikolaev – in the southern part of Ukraine. In the last few days, Russian troops have been bombing the residential area and there are already victims – Bulgarians from Ternovo, bg-voice.com.
Nikolaev is a strategically located city – between Kherson, which is already under Russian control, and Odessa – capturing the Black Sea region is key to Putin’s plans. Our compatriots there say that during the last three nights, they have been under heavy fire from the powerful Russian Tornado missiles and tank volleys.
Tule Volchev is an eighth generation Bulgarian born in Ukraine. He never imagined that he would survive a war. But shelling in recent days has forced him to evacuate his wife and children to Bulgaria.
“A house full of children, three children and a mother, a brother-in-law, a woman, everyone. We were behind two walls. However, from the explosion and the subsequent shock wave, we all fell. They fired Tornadoes, large cruise missiles. And so there were about six terrible explosions that broke the windows. The doors were flying, “he said.
“Uncle Vlado, a Bulgarian, has everything broken. A shell fell in his garage and everything was destroyed. Opposite, a projectile flew straight into the house. “Two large shells fell in another yard of a house,” he said.
In addition to the destroyed homes of hundreds of Bulgarians in Tarnovka, there are already reports of one killed by Russian shells.
“On March 7, a Bulgarian died in his house and was buried alive. Last night was a terrible bombing, the houses in the village were rocking all night. “My mother is there right now,” he said.
It is unclear whether there were any other victims of last night’s bombing. But Thule says they will not give up their land without a fight. He is part of the voluntary territorial defense and is likely to join the detachment in Bolgrad, the capital of Bessarabian Bulgarians in Ukraine.
“No, we will not give up our land. We are free people. We want to live in a free country. We want a democratic country, “he added.
