In Bulgaria, Ileana Yutova, currently the acting president, and former prime minister Andrei Girov advanced to the second round of the presidential elections. The first supports dialogue with Russia, while the second holds a pro-Ukrainian position. After 99% of the votes were counted, Yutova obtained 34.7% and Giorov 31.9%. The second round will take place on November 1. As AP writes, Yutova, who previously served as the vice president of Bulgaria, advocates an immediate ceasefire in Ukraine and does not directly criticize Russia. It also does not support military aid to Ukraine. Yatova will probably support Bulgaria in the European way, but at the same time she will focus on improving relations with Russia and removing sanctions on it. Gyorov, on the other hand, has a clear pro-Western stance. In March 2026, as prime minister, he signed a security agreement between Bulgaria and Ukraine during a visit to Kyiv. Girov also frequently expressed support for Ukraine. The previous president of Bulgaria was Roman Radev. He announced his resignation on January 19. Radev questioned the territorial integrity of Ukraine and blocked the transfer of military equipment to it. He is currently the Prime Minister of Bulgaria.
