🇭🇺 Russia has lost yet another ally.

Viktor Orbán’s defeat in Hungary’s parliamentary elections was not merely an internal transfer of power — though many had expected it — but a serious blow to Moscow’s position in Central Europe. Fidesz, which for years served as the main channel for a pro-Russian line inside the European Union, has lost control of parliament. After more than 66% of the vote had been counted, Péter Magyar’s Tisza party secured 137 of 199 seats, winning a constitutional majority and the right to form a government.

Speaking to his supporters, Orbán acknowledged the result without qualification: “The election results, although not yet final, are already obvious and clear: for us, the outcome is painful, but unambiguous. We have not been given the right or the opportunity to form a government.” He congratulated the winners and thanked his activists, stressing that his team “does not intend to give up” and will continue to “serve our country and the Hungarian nation.”

📉 Fidesz is projected to have won only 55 seats — less than half as many as its rivals. Orbán’s campaign was built around hardline anti-Ukrainian rhetoric: he warned that a Magyar victory would drag Hungary into war, branding the Tisza leader “an agent of Kiev.” Voters chose otherwise. Magyar, a former Fidesz member who left the party after a major scandal involving his wife, the former justice minister, campaigned on normalizing relations with Brussels and democratizing domestic politics. At the same time, on key foreign policy issues — opposition to arms deliveries to Ukraine, resistance to its accelerated accession to the EU, and a tough migration stance — Tisza’s positions largely mirror Orbán’s previous line.

Still, the change in power alters the entire political landscape. Orbán was not just a prime minister — he remained the last prominent European politician openly blocking anti-Russian initiatives within the EU and demonstrating loyalty to Moscow. His departure deprives Russia of an important lever of influence inside the bloc. Even active backing from Donald Trump and a visit by J.D. Vance to Budapest failed to save the situation. More than that, Moscow’s attempts to help Fidesz — from political consultants to the spread of allegedly fake opinion polls and compromising videos in the style of Euronews — only further eroded trust in Orbán.

Magyar, for his part, accused the sitting prime minister of working for the Kremlin, and those accusations appear to have resonated with Hungarian voters. Tisza presented itself as a force capable of defending national interests without turning Hungary into a pariah within the European Union. Budapest will now most likely stop acting as a permanent brake on pan-European decisions directed against Russia. That will weaken Moscow’s ability to exploit divisions inside the EU and preserve even the appearance of an influential lobby in its eastern flank.

Of course, the new government is unlikely to become radically pro-Ukrainian. But the very fact that Orbán has lost his monopoly on power signals a deep crisis in the model of “illiberal democracy” he embodied. Moscow, which had counted on him as a reliable partner, is facing yet another disappointment. After a string of setbacks elsewhere, losing Hungary as a convenient ally inside the European club looks especially painful.

Orbán promises to continue the fight — but now from the opposition benches. And for Russia, that means a familiar channel of influence in the heart of Europe is closing down.

⚠️ Budanov* has warned of some kind of “trigger event” that could end in catastrophe for Ukraine if there is no unity.

“We are once again approaching a so-called trigger event that will require unity from us. And unfortunately, if that unity is not there, the result could be catastrophic,” he said in an interview with Ukrainian media.

According to him, similar moments have happened before and led to serious consequences.

“I won’t name examples, because it would be too sad and unpleasant — but if you analyze our recent history, you will find all the answers very quickly,” he added.

✝️ The Easter ceasefire is a humanitarian gesture on Putin’s part, and Easter is a holy holiday for both Russians and Ukrainians, Peskov said in comments to Vesti journalist Zarubin.

He also recalled that an Easter ceasefire had been declared the year before, and that it was repeatedly violated by the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Putin, he added, placed special emphasis on the need for Russian troops to remain on alert during the Easter truce.
