Orbán announces the need to review Hungary’s relations with Russia

Orbán stated that cooperation with the Russian Federation is in Hungary’s interests, but he is said to be concerned that Moscow’s relations with Europe “have suffered so much as a result of the war that they may not recover for a long time.”

According to Orban, Hungary should “seriously think” about how to build political and economic relations with Russia in the next 10-15 years.

After Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Orbán has been repeatedly criticized for not being sufficiently firm in relation to the Russian Federation and its president, Vladimir Putin.
