Hungary Declares Russia a ‘Threat’, Breaking With Orbán Policy

Hungary denounces Russia’s military aggression and fully supports Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity within its recognized borders. The document affirms Kyiv’s right to self-defense and endorses negotiations for sustainable peace and long-term security guarantees.

Since replacing Orbán this spring, Magyar has realigned Budapest’s foreign policy. He has repaired relations with Brussels, secured the release of €16.4 billion in frozen EU funds, and lifted Hungary’s veto on reimbursing EU countries for weapons sent to Kyiv.

Earlier this month, he announced a review of Orbán’s Paks II nuclear deal with Moscow. Orbán signed the deal with Russia’s Rosatom in 2014, supported by up to €10 billion in Russian financing.

However, Magyar’s government opposes fast-tracking Ukraine’s EU membership and aims to slow down accession talks between Brussels and Kyiv.

Foreign Minister Anita Orbán stated that a referendum would be held to decide on Hungary’s acceptance of Ukraine into the EU once negotiations are completed.

  1. Oh, look at that, Hungary suddenly having an epiphany about Russia – must be the new guy in charge, eh? Can’t wait for the referendum on Ukraine’s EU membership; maybe they’ll use a magic 8-ball for the final decision! 😏

    Seems like Hungary’s playing a game of musical chairs with foreign policy—switching partners as if they were in a waltz. 💃 I guess the €16.4 billion didn’t hurt their stepping up to the plate! 😏
