Hungary gets ~40% of its energy from Russia. It would be suicidal to risk being cut off. In the short-term, Hungary has no choice but to remain neutral.
If the two clown parties joined United for Hungary, it might be a razor-thin win. It’s time to get serious.
Orban is betting that people will elect his vision of “keep Russian energy coming”, but it’s such a dim way to see the regional situation.
I fear Orban will win by a margin that reflects the votes split to the other 2 parties with no shot.
I will say it: Hungary, you are truly disappointing.
I do hope people are protesting the Hungarian leadership. It’s incredible how this state behaves.
“M Orbán rejects President Zelensky’s **DEMANDS”**
Literally, the next line:”The president of Ukraine had **ASKED** Hungary and Prime Minister Orbán….”So did he demand or ask? This is why I hate media headlines. They have the potential to stir up more issues than actually exist.
Can we remove Hungary from EU and take Ukraine in instead?
Orbán’s current stance has turned me into an orbanite.
>O God, bless the nation of Hungary
With your grace and bounty
>Pity, O Lord, the Hungarians
Who are tossed by waves of danger
Extend over it your guarding arm
On the sea of its misery
Long torn by ill fate
Bring upon it a time of relief
They who have suffered for all sins
Of the past and of the future!
I hope Hungary or-banishes his ass next week.
Orban is putin’s collaborateur
Zelensky never demanded anything. During the last month he pleads for help and welcomes any help that comes to his land. He’s always asking and we keep not listen to his cry for help. But we’ll pay our stupidity and fear. Stupid article. Garbage.
If orbins party is re-elected, eu is going to start seeing them as an internal Serbia. A lot of people will be watching very closely. I’ve met a lot of Hungarians, and I liked them all. But nationalism was very common amongst most of them compared to various other European citizens I met.
I am ok with helping Ukraine as long as it does not kill our economy (which would be eventually also bad for Ukraine). So Zelensky, please calm down
Hungarian website controlled by Orban government.
He has the option to help Putin though, why does he not offer help? /s
The Polish government is having its own Germany moment: the snakes they nurtured (Hungary/Russia) are now acting against their interests.

Must be really upsetting for him that another country do not want world war
“You have chosen… poorly”
Can’t wait to vote his traitorous ass out next week.
Little Putin opens his mouth again. Like a muppet with a hand up his ass.
Why is Hungary treated worse than Germany? Could someone explain the differences in their policies on Russia at the moment?
Orban has always been the Kremlin servant. “Da, comrade”, every time something is asked of him.
Orban, Lukashenko and whoever runs Serbia need to have a look at which way the wind is blowing. Their boy Putin’s star is sinking fast and you boys are going to share his fate if you’re stupid.
Orban is just paper tiger, he can bark till the end of time if he wants
Too bad Hungary is ruled by someone like this.
As a hungarian, I am deeply, woefully ashamed of our country’s stance on the Ukrainian conflict, and it fills me with inconsolable grief to see our country relegated to the garbage dump of history. I would hereby like to officially condemn the government’s actions. Please know that our PM has been Putin’s bootlicker for more than a decade, to the detriment of the hungarian people and we have suffered greatly because of it. We, the people of Hungary wholeheartedly support the brave, selfless struggle of our ukrainian brothers, mourn their every loss, and we welcome their women and children with open arms in their hour of dire need, should they wish to seek refuge in Hungary. Keep up the good fight, and send those mass murdering nazi scum running back to Moscow. Slava Ukraini!
Zelensky really has a thankless job.
I mean, Hungary isn’t alone on not wanting to ban the majority of their own country’s gas supply. That one just isn’t going to happen, too many EU states rely too much on Russian gas.
And as far as arms go… why? Why should a small country’s small army become weaker for another country’s benefit?
