Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán congratulated Russian President Vladimir Putin on his reelection, highlighting cooperation and mutual respect between the two countries despite complex geopolitics. Orbán expressed Hungary’s commitment to peace and willingness to enhance collaboration with Moscow beyond international legal limitations. Putin received heavy criticism from several EU nations for the election process, with only Orbán sending congratulations among European leaders. Putin received postcards from other autocratic leaders, while the election was marred by falsification of ballots and the death of opposition figure Alexey Navalny.
