Bulgarians vote for president in the shadow of Russia's war in Ukraine
Bulgarian voters are choosing a president on 25 October. The two leading candidates condemn the recent deadly drone strikes in the Black Sea but differ more broadly on the war in Ukraine.
Voters in Bulgaria, a European Union member state on the Black Sea coast, are electing a president on 25 October. Russia's war in Ukraine hangs over the campaign and is one of the main themes of the vote.
The two leading presidential candidates have both condemned the recent deadly drone strikes in the Black Sea. On that point their positions match.
They part ways, however, over the war in Ukraine in a wider sense. The information available does not spell out what exactly those differences are, and it does not name the candidates or give polling figures or election results.
Further reports are expected once the voting outcome and the details of the candidates' positions become clear.
