After the defeat in Hungary, Bulgaria offers Kremlin’s next best bet
“Radev’s campaign has been bolstered by a network of former senior Bulgarian military officers who have connections to Russian military intelligence and have backed Radev by promoting his views against support for Ukraine, according to a European intelligence official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive matters.”

I saw some statements from this guy and he doesn’t strike me as a Russian agent. He seems more of a skeptic of a military solution to the Ukraine war. Other than that, I’m also skeptical of European officials’ statements given how badly they fucked up supporting Ukraine so far.
Either way given his numbers, it seems we’re gonna give him a go so I guess we’ll see how it shakes out.
@avidamoeba fortunately, he wouldn’t have the numbers to take decisions on his own. Historically in coalition governments, pro-Russian parties in Bulgaria push to control the power ministries, but leave the economic ones to parties that have an understanding of the economy. We’ll see how it goes this time.
He freaking has those numbers… I can’t believe so many people are so short-sighted. https://vimeo.com/606370134
@avidamoeba Иначе тази руска връзка не е нещо ново или прикривано. Ето един разговор от преди 10 години:

Събеседникът е един от водещите руски агенти, работещи над България.
