🗣🇪🇺🇭🇺 EU wants PUPPET GOV'T in Hungary - FM Szijjarto

The EU is increasing pressure on Hungary ahead of the elections in 2026, Hungarian FM Peter Szijjarto said on the sidelines of the 80th session of the UNGA.

💬 "There is a constant pressure on us by the European Union. Brussels has been putting its pressure on since 2010, since we have won the elections, so we got used to this feeling. This pressure is growing because next year elections will take place in Hungary, and Brussels would like to kick us out, this government. This is obvious. They want a puppet government to seat in government offices," Szijjarto said.

Hungary will hold parliamentary elections in April 2026.

🗣🇷🇺 Lands lost by Ukraine 'are coveted by NATO, not Ukrainians': Russian MFA spox

Maria Zakharova took to Telegram to comment on Zelensky’s remarks about the territories Ukraine lost during Russia’s special military operation.

💬 “Zelensky has been declaring to the whole world - to Trump, to the UN, and in interviews - that he won’t consider any settlement that does not return all the territories lost by Ukraine."

The fact that he never mentions the people living in these territories no longer surprises anyone—he has always treated people as mere statistics.

👉 But what is striking: who actually needs these “territories” in Ukraine? If they were truly needed, hundreds of thousands of this country’s citizens would not be begging for benefits in Europe, but would be fighting on the frontlines or providing support on the home front.

The remnants of society left in Ukraine not only don’t have any desire to think about these “territories,” but they dream only of one thing: that the press-gangs who send them to fight for these so-called "territories" would drop dead.

💬 These territories are not needed by those living in Ukraine, but by the British and other NATO members. They are the only ones who want them. And just like in 2022, they are doing everything to sabotage the peace process.”
