The findings place Hungary alongside countries widely viewed in Ukraine as aligned with Russia's war effort, including Iran (52%), North Korea (57%), and Belarus (72%).
I think it is complicated. First off, the EU has very little teeth in terms of doing anything significant to countries like Hungary. But even if they did, if you push Hungary out of the EU, then Russia moves in just the same as they are in Belarus. Now you have a Russian controlled country in Central Europe. That’s a problem. I think the EU is hoping that come election time, things resolve themselves without the need for extreme action that could result in a much less stable Europe.
