“Hungary must rebuild trust with its allies, and as for the Russians, we are shutting the door on them,” Hungarian Defense Minister Romulusz Ruszin-Szendi said during a panel discussion at the Budapest Energy and Strategy Talks organized by the think tank Egyensúly Intézet (Equilibrium Institute).
When asked what his current defense priority is, Minister Ruszin-Szendi said that vision is the most important thing, but in order for the new government to develop a strategy, “it must consider the interests and values of both the nation and its allies.” Hungary’s interests align with those of its allies, and trust with them must be rebuilt, he stated.
This is precisely why one of the government’s first tasks was to apologize to some of its allies, such as the Finns, whose accession to NATO was delayed by the previous government. He noted that as a military man, he considered the previous administration’s attitude unacceptable.
“We’re shutting the door on the Russians,” he added, noting that the Russian intelligence service “tried to come in through the back door.” The government is not only keeping an eye on the Russian-Ukrainian war but also on the conflict in the Middle East. The minister is of the opinion that these conflicts will only end when governments, militaries, and societies all want to put an end to them.

Good news from Hungary these days. I truly hope that their days of pro-Russian, anti-EU, far-right populism are over forever.
Now Poland plays that Role.
And Slovakia. And Serbia. And even in states that aren’t already infiltrated, Russia finances useful idiots and fifth columns everywhere, from the AfD in Germany to the Rassemblée Nationale in France. These fucks would sell out their home countries to Putin in a heartbeat, yet the call themselves “patriots” and even “nationalists”. If our governments were to finally take these hybrid attacks seriously, they’d set everything in motion to follow the dark money back to its source - and crack down on foreign interference.
I do remember they had the far-irght PIS regime for a while, but got over that - but maybe not as completely as HU.
But even as complete nazi dickheads: Pro-Russian Poland? Really? Can you show me?
Show you what? A complete set of links to spilled Ukrainian grain from hoppers or recent hysteria about some WW2-era shit that modern Ukraine can’t be accountable of? No, I can’t. I don’t collect and cataloging that kind of data. But somehow Poland’s anti-Ukraine position became more prominent lately. That might be not pro-Russia position though. But I doubt that…
