Russia tries to directly influence the processes in the energy sector and in the elections, and the propaganda is developed through the media and a number of organizations. This becomes clear from the 2021 report of Bulgaria's State Agency for National Security (DANS), approved by the caretaker government. According to the document, the modernization of the Bulgarian army was also monitored by Kremlin agents. 

DANS also informs that the activities of a group of Bulgarians, who were developing espionage activities for the benefit of Russia, as well as of Russian citizens connected to the special services of their country, have been stopped.

In the report, the invasion of Ukraine was called "unprecedented aggression on the territory of Europe since the Second World War". 

It also contains the finding that the migratory pressure to Bulgaria has increased threefold in just one year.
