Hungary Closes Door on Russia Defense Minister Says
Hungarian Defense Minister Romulusz Ruszin-Szendi stated that Hungary is “closing the door in the face of the Russians” and realigning with its allies, signifying a departure from the previous government’s Russia-friendly stance. This shift involves prioritizing national interests and aligning with allied values, even as Russia’s intelligence services attempt to exert influence. The new leadership is fostering a more constructive relationship with Ukraine and Europe, as evidenced by the lifting of a ban on Ukrainian media and a cautious approach to Ukraine’s EU accession process.
