Rumen Radev wins Bulgarian election

Radev's win signals a significant shift in Bulgarian politics and could test the new leader's anti-corruption push.

His victory is also seen as a boost for Russian influence within the European Union, given his historically friendly stance toward Moscow.

The election results follow a period of political instability and economic challenges in the Balkan nation.

Analysts will be watching closely to see how Radev navigates Bulgaria's ties with both Russia and its Western allies.
