PM Orbán: Pro-War, Pro-Ukrainian Propaganda Network Operating in Hungary UPDATED
- Prime Minister Viktor Orbán stated on May 23, 2025, in a public radio interview that a pro-war, pro-Ukrainian propaganda network operates inside Hungary.
- Orbán attributed rising energy costs and economic strain to Ukrainian plans that aim to prevent EU countries from buying Russian energy, which he said risks Hungarian families’ welfare.
- He explained that Hungary would face an additional cost of 800 billion forints annually, the war has cost 20 billion euros in three years, and Brussels debates affect everyday Hungarian heating bills.
- Orbán said, "Hungarians' heating bills would quadruple" if Russian energy sanctions continued and emphasized Hungary's opposition to extending these sanctions or admitting Ukraine to the EU.
- He warned that Ukraine’s EU membership and a proposed one-million-strong army could pose security risks and financial burdens for Hungary and Central Europe, urging voter participation in the 2025 referendum.
