Context
Parliamentary elections in Hungary are scheduled for April 12, 2026, and are considered among the most important in recent years.
US President Donald Trump openly supports Prime Minister Viktor Orbán in these elections, which is confirmed by his statements and political support from the American administration.
In recent years, Orbán has repeatedly blocked EU decisions on aid to Ukraine and opposed sanctions, and also has close ties with Russia.
His policy is often seen as pro-Russian, which draws criticism from the EU and Ukraine's partners, as Budapest is holding back some joint decisions on supporting Kyiv.
