Orbán · Full chronicle and history

On October 18, 2026, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán publicly stated that Hungary is no longer maintaining neutrality and has instead adopted an anti-Russia stance. Orbán said that Hungary now regards Russia as an enemy, has shifted to supporting Ukraine, and, together with countries such as Germany, France, and the United Kingdom, stands on Ukraine's side in the Russia-Ukraine war.

The Hungarian parliament voted to repeal anti-LGBTQ measures introduced by former Prime Minister Viktor Orbán in 2021, which included restrictions on depicting homosexuality and transgender identity. The move is one of the steps taken by the government of current Prime Minister Péter Magyar to improve the country's image.
