Hungary designates Russia as a threat to Europe and global order

The new Hungarian government, led by Prime Minister Peter Magyar, has officially designated Russia as a threat to Hungary, Europe, and the global order. This policy shift was detailed in a document published in the Hungarian Official Gazette, which outlines the guidelines for the Hungarian delegation attending the upcoming United Nations General Assembly in September.

In a significant departure from the foreign policy of former Prime Minister Viktor Orban, the new administration explicitly condemns Russian military aggression. The document states that Hungary fully supports the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine within its internationally recognized borders and recognizes Ukraine's right to self-defense.

Furthermore, Budapest has expressed support for all diplomatic efforts aimed at achieving sustainable peace and long-term security guarantees for Ukraine. This move marks a major pivot from the previous administration's stance, which was often characterized as being more favorable toward Moscow and obstructive toward EU sanctions.
