[tamasgyorffy]

Peter Kreko is a very reliable and good professional. Good interview, thanks for this! Slava Ukraini!

It means opinion of exact percentage of hungarians who voted for him and we can add all those who did not vote.No worry Ukraine.There are many other nations that support you.And Hungary now counts as the one going against us and shaering same values as Nazi Russia and other Nazi nations such as Belarus or Serbia.

In a democracy, it kinda does imply the opinion of the country. Posted this before watching the video but the quote is not quite correct.

Hungarian people are being manipulated through state media and reactionary nonsense but that doesn't mean they are being manipulated into thinking Orban is great. Fact is also that nationalism is more likely to take root in rural places. That's why Warschaw and Budapest are fairly liberal as opposed the the rest of the country (minus the larger cities).

Oban is "sitting in a tree singing with demons!"

[StormyDog]

The russian pipeline to Hungary runs through Ukraine. Can't Ukraine cut it off or destroy it?

[VeronikaJelencsrecnozivljenje]

Those elections were so funny to me. Orban was like: I will keep you protected, we won't join the war.
I mean, no one is going to war. Only volunteers.
But Hungary has cheap gas and oil. And no humanity.

[riveness]

Unfortunately that cannot be the case. The anti LGBT and pro Russian stance of orban should have been enough but it wasn't.

This is an insulated view.

Financial sanctions are just a matter of money. In other words, what many believe is "worthy!" cannot be "unusable". For the money needed they want to exchange for the others. Therefore if they don't, it doesn't matter. Russia can support the minimum necessities for the life and has sufficient resources also. People who mind only money tend to believe Money can work for everything. But that's NOT true. In a wartime "A living dog is better than a dead lion!" is the key. So Western society now have to understand this theory and let Putin and Russians know how much price they has to pay. Now we have no choice but to demonstrate the magnitude of the price. In that sense, "money" is NOT the most important factor.

[gergelyelod]

Hungary does nothing that is not agreed by Germany in a form or another. Germany can't say out loud some things, but Orbán can, because Hungary is a small and insignificant country.

💙 G-D BLESS UKARINE! 💛 An American Jew.

Also I think EU and NATO need to review Hungry's membership.

[JA-hnpe]

Yeees, it's mean. Least 2/3 part of Hungarians have the same opinion. You like or not.

[smthcrazy]

This is really good journalism - just invite people that have some knowledge that you don't have and ask questions without trying to lead them or having any answers in mind!

[ptr_strzk]

Well, it kinda does.

And is it important to receive money from EU so Hungary can pay with it a bill for gas and oil?

55% isn't a majority, best case scenario it's barley barley enough.

[joachimverstraeten]

UATV. YOU ARE GREAT. Keep on pressing on this good exposing work.

[georgiojansen]

if he knew upfront about the bank crash, he is ok, otherwise he's bad

[jorgerobles]

So How come Hungary became a NATO member, while Ukraine was left hanging?
