Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban met with Vladimir Putin in Moscow, securing a major energy deal for Hungary.The agreement guarantees Russian oil and gas deliveries and continues the Paks nuclear plant construction. Orban has repeatedly defied the EU, frustrating Western leaders over unified responses to Russia's war in Ukraine. German Chancellor Friedrich Merz criticized Orban's unilateral approach, while Trump previously granted Hungary exemptions from sanctions. This marks Orban's 14th meeting with Putin, highlighting his strong ties with the Kremlin amid ongoing EU-Russia tensions. |
