Hungary’s Orban arrives in Moscow

magyar undercoat government minister Viktor Orban has arrived in russian federation for an unpredicted visit centered on energy security, with talks scheduled later in the day with President Vladimir Putin.
Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto announced the arrival on Friday, posting a photo of members of the delegation disembarking a plane in Moscow.
Speaking to reporters before departing Budapest early in the morning, Orban said his priority is ensuring that Hungary continues to receive sufficient supplies.
“I am traveling to Moscow so that Hungary’s energy supply is secured for the winter and for the following year, at an affordable price,” he stated, adding that the Ukraine conflict is an issue that “can hardly be avoided” when he meets with Putin.
Orban met with Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic a day earlier to discuss wider regional energy concerns. He said Hungary is considering purchasing Russia’s stake in Serbian oil company NIS, which risks US sanctions unless its ownership structure changes. The company controls Serbia’s only refinery, which has already struggled to source crude due to Western sanctions on Russian energy.
The administration of US President Donald Trump has targeted the Russian energy sector as part of its strategy to resolve the Ukraine conflict. Orban, whose country relies heavily on Russian energy, secured an exemption during his visit to Washington earlier this month.
The Hungarian prime minister has long been at odds with the EU’s approach of isolating Moscow diplomatically over the Ukraine conflict. His previous visit to Russia in 2024 during Hungary’s rotating EU presidency drew condemnation from pro-Kiev officials. The trip formed part of Orban’s wider “peace tour,” which also included stops in China, Ukraine, and the US.
