Hungarian Election Faces Pro-EU Challenge

Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto offered to send a document to Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov on Ukraine's EU accession.
VSquare released the audio recordings in Warsaw.
Hungarian election occurs days before pro-EU challenger could challenge Orban.
Szijjarto and Lavrov had friendly conversations, with Szijjarto saying 'It's not a problem' about a document on minority languages and Lavrov saying 'All the best, my friend.'. Szijjarto asked for details on 2025 Trump-Putin meeting in Alaska.
Hungarian government and Kremlin did not comment on the audio release.
Szijjarto has visited Moscow since 2022, while Orban blocked EU sanctions against Russia.
Orban claims to protect Hungarian interests and avoid the conflict.
