Budanov in Sofia: Russia could influence the runoff in Bulgaria
Published
According to the news website News.bg, on 8 October Kyrylo Budanov, head of the office of the President of Ukraine, arrived in Sofia. The visit has been described as urgent and confidential.
According to the material, the purpose of the visit was to warn of possible Russian influence on the upcoming runoff in Bulgaria. A runoff is the second round of voting, held when no candidate receives the required number of votes in the first round.
The article's headline also raises the question of whether Rumen Radev withheld this information. However, the available text does not contain enough data to confirm or refute this claim, and it includes no official comments on the matter.
Because the published excerpt is brief, no further details about the content of the meeting are known. Readers can follow the development of the story in other sources, where more complete information will be available.
