russian propaganda. Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban. EU countries. support Ukraine

russian propaganda uses “sensational expositions” of its friend Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban in promoting its narratives. In the midst of the election struggle, the political power of the current head of the Hungarian government is at the peak of his false propaganda. Her key theses are actually written in the kremlin. Details in our material.

Fake 1: The European Union says it supports Ukraine, but is actually preparing for its distribution.
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban said at a meeting with his supporters. The politician stressed that Ukraine as a state has long been not sovereign, and its fate is in strangers’ hands. “Billions dedicated to Ukraine are not thrown money, but investments. The war for them is not horror, but the opportunity to seize the country, because it is easier to divide the country in war," Orban said.
Fake 2: According to Viktor Orban, “EU leaders are preparing to cancel utility benefits inside the alliance, pension taxes and introduce new encumbrances to advance Ukraine to the European Union at any cost.”
Fake 3: “Brussels has finished money, so they want to raise taxes, pension pensions and cancel utility benefits. They want to force us to pay a military ransom,” another quote of a false politician.
In Orban’s speech surprises everything. And it surprises how in its nonsense citizens of Hungary and some neighboring states believe in it. First: the issue of pensions, taxes and social benefits is solved by each country independently. In many EU countries, pensions taxation already exists. The sign of attempts “at any price to push Ukraine to the EU something is not visible. The decision to start negotiations on Ukraine's accession of the EU was adopted in December 2023. On June 25, 2024, it was announced the opening of negotiations, but none of the 35 sections have been opened. Until recently, this was hampered by Hungary’s position, but at the end of August Politico reported that Donald Trump convinced Orban that it was worth lifting the objection. "However, no negotiating cluster is still open. On October 23, President Zelensky, speaking at the EU leaders summit in Brussels, called on to remove this, in his opinion, "artificial blockade".
Second: "EU plans to divide Ukraine". It is not clear what Orban’s statement is based on. He has not informed any specific information about these plans. Similar messages several times earlier distributed kremlin media, but they were every time fake. So, Mr. Orban simply repeats russian fakes once again. The map of the planned deployment of troops of the “Coalition of Volunteers” in Ukraine, which is mentioned by “Vesti” (Orban did not specifically talk about it), – long-explained fake. 
However, one EU member state was really noticed in actions potentially threatening the territorial integrity of Ukraine, and this state is Hungary. Since 2011, that is, just after Orban came to power, ethnic Hungarians living in the border areas of the Transcarpathian region of Ukraine, began to issue a certificate of persons who allow to apply for Hungarian citizenship. Since then, citizenship has already received about 100,000 Ukrainian Hungarians. Since the legislation of Ukraine did not allow (until summer 2025) the presence of second citizenship, Hungarian diplomats advised their newly-made citizens to hide it from the Ukrainian authorities. In 2018, this led to a diplomatic scandal when Ukraine declared a persona non-grata of the Hungarian consul in the Transcarpathian city of Beregove.
In the same year, Ukraine decided to restore a military base in Beregovo. In Budapest, this was perceived as a threat to their citizens. Although ethnic Hungarians never felt any pressure or oppression by the Ukrainian authorities. But since then Orban’s party has been very disrespectful of Ukraine, regularly commit provocations. In 2025, reconnaissance drones were detected in the western regions of Ukraine, which entered the airy spacious countries from Hungary. Of course, in Orban government, accusations of deliberate provocation are rejected. It should be noted that thousands of ethnic Hungarians are now in the ranks of the armed forces of Ukraine stop russian aggression, but Orban’s party stubbornly stubbornly stubbornly stubbornly on the side of the terrorist state and protects putin’s interests in Europe.
Earlier, Victor Orban has already stated that “Brussels has decided to enter the war” and created an alliance for this purpose”. In fact, the “Coalition of those who want”, mentioned by the Prime Minister of Hungary is the unification of individual countries at their own request, rather than the consolidated position and initiative of Brussels, i.e. the European Union. And this coalition is not about the accession by regular European troops into the war, but about the consolidated support of Ukraine in its fight against the aggressor. 
Another episode: in October Viktor Orban published a video generated by artificial intelligence in his social networks, where the supposedly President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy advertises a fake spy application for Hungarians. This is not just a mistake – it is a purposeful provocation, incitement of enmity between friendly peoples. In its election advertising, Orban’s party regularly uses anti-Ukrainian slogans, and even images of Ukrainian leaders as a threat. 
We have already concluded a long time: the current government of Hungary, which is increasingly losing support among its own citizens, will serve the criminal regime of putin to the latter. But the Hungarian people can change the political and economic course of their state in the upcoming elections.
