On the third and final day of the Russian presidential elections, Russian citizens in Bulgaria voted at the Russian embassy in Sofia. By midday, hundreds of people were queuing in front of the diplomatic mission.

Meanwhile, a protest organised by the association "Freedom for Russia" began outside the embassy. The participants, Russian citizens, described the elections as illegitimate and called on European countries and institutions not to recognise the results. The protest is part of the 'Noon against Putin' initiative, which aims to unite opponents of the Russian president and his war against Ukraine.

Arman Babikian of the Civic Association told the media that the EU would not recognise the elections in Russia.
