User:WindWalkerOfficial was created about five days ago, on 23 April 2024. Despite the short period of time that has elapsed, and their few edits (77 as of this report's publication), it is already quite clear that they have similar interests (see EIA) and views to those of indefinitely blocked User:MiltenR. For example, in the Phrygians page, which I actively monitor, they both tried to give undue weight to the same primary source; compare this addition by User:MiltenR, to this addition by User:WindWalkerOfficial, where they both refer to Strabo's description of the Phrygians as a Thracian tribe.
User:Mitko28 is also a new user, created on 4 April 2024; at the beginning of this month. Just like the indefinitely blocked User:MiltenR (diff) and the co-reported User:WindWalkerOfficial (diff), User:Mitko28 (diff) has also commented in the page Talk:Bulgars about the genetics of Proto-Bulgarians and present-day Bulgarians; essentially trying to disassociate them from any Turkic background.

User:Euiauaua was created on 28 April 2024, which is the same day that the last sockpuppets of User:MiltenR were blocked; see the relevant SPI case, which was filed about six and a half hours prior of this new user's creation. Their only edit is in the page Talk:Bulgars, where sockmaster User:MiltenR, and their recently reported sockpuppets User:WindWalkerOfficial and User:Mitko28, have all commented in (EIA). The post of User:Euiauaua (diff) was is in line with User:MiltenR's preceding post (diff).
I am just a little surprised that the last use of CU didn't pick this new user up, considering that it appears to have been used seven hours after their creation. Maybe the checkuser didn't look for other accounts, or the sockmaster is using proxies, or this is a case of meatpuppetry; none of these possibilities would surprise me, judging by the IP activity in the aforementioned page.
