Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban’s chief of staff has intensified speculation over a potential high-level visit to Moscow after refusing to confirm or deny reports of upcoming talks. Speaking to journalists, the aide stated that he was “not confirming or ruling anything out,” a comment that quickly drew attention amid heightened scrutiny of Hungary’s relationship with Russia.
The remarks come at a time when Budapest’s foreign policy continues to diverge from several EU partners, particularly on issues related to Russia and regional security. Hungary has maintained open communication channels with Moscow, even as most European states have scaled back political engagement due to the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.
