What's At Stake In Hungary's Election For Ukraine And Russia

forbes
Hungary’s upcoming election on April 12 will have consequences extending well beyond domestic politics. At stake is whether the European Union continues to face internal resistance from one of its most consistent dissenters on Ukraine policy – or whether that pressure point begins to ease.

Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has positioned himself as a critic of EU support for Ukraine, frequently delaying or opposing aid packages and sanctions. In doing so, Hungary has functioned less as a conventional ally within the bloc and more as a constraint on collective action, particularly on issues requiring unanimity.
