The Kremlin declared that it has never had a friendship with Viktor Orban, the former Hungarian prime minister, who lost the elections to Peter Magyar, a pro-EU candidate. Orban, known for his close ties with Russian President Vladimir Putin, has been an obstacle to financial support for Ukraine. Following his defeat, the Kremlin seems to be distancing itself from Orban, with spokesperson Dmitry Peskov stating that Hungary is considered an "unfriendly country." Although Orban facilitated Russian projects, such as the construction of a nuclear power plant, the new government led by Magyar may take a different approach. Magyar acknowledged the need for dialogue with Russia but emphasized that Ukraine is the victim of the conflict. The Kremlin expressed a desire to maintain good relations with the new Hungarian government, but the future of the relationship remains uncertain.
