Orbán escalates conflict with Ukraine to boost election prospects

obozrevatel.com (Ukrainian)

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has escalated political conflict with Ukraine, using it as an electoral tool ahead of upcoming elections. Orbán has publicly declared Ukraine an enemy, accusing it of undermining Hungarian interests and vowing to block EU aid. This shift is driven by falling poll numbers for his Fidesz party, with the opposition Tisza party leading. The anti-Ukraine rhetoric serves as a strategy to consolidate his base by focusing on fear rather than domestic issues, while Hungary also obstructs EU financial packages and sanctions against Russia.
