While the Kremlin said it respected the results of Sunday’s Hungarian elections that saw far-right populist Prime Minister Viktor Orbán defeated, other officials and pro-Kremlin figures said the outcome would “only accelerate the EU’s collapse.” Orbán had been one of Europe’s most Kremlin-friendly leaders during his 16 years in power, using Hungary’s veto to repeatedly delay decisions on aid to Ukraine and EU sanctions on Russia. He conceded defeat to center-right, pro-EU challenger Péter Magyar following a landslide vote in what observers call a setback for right-wing populism worldwide.
