"Clear Aggression", "Threat to Europe" | Why Is Hungary PM Suddenly Condemning Russia's Ukraine War?

Ever since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine began, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has walked a tightrope. The Hungarian PM is seen as a staunch ally of Vladimir Putin, despite leading an EU nation. Orban has backed EU sanctions on Russia despite claiming that they are a “step towards war”. However, recent days have seen the first signs of a potential change in Orban’s awkward political balance regarding the war. Orbán has been making strong statements opposing Russia, describing the Ukraine war as “clear aggression”. The Hungarian PM also said that a sovereign Ukraine is needed “to stop Russia posing a threat to the security of Europe”. But why is Orban changing his stand against his ally Putin? #Hungary #ViktorOrban #Putin #Ukraine #EU #Zelensky #Russia #WorldNews n18oc_world n18oc_crux CRUX is your daily video news guide to the big events that are shaping our world.
