【Latest News: Orbán Comments on Being Accused of Being 'Putin's Trojan Horse'】

On November 17, 2025, in Budapest time, Hungarian Prime Minister Orbán responded to a question during an interview on the YouTube platform with the CEO of German media group Axel Springer, Matthias Döpfner:

You know, the discussion about the Trojan horse is very childish and primitive. If the discussion about war lacks serious arguments, and someone just has a different opinion, they say this person is Putin's Trojan horse. This is very primitive.

Orbán emphasized:

Russia will always be part of European politics. Russia, Germany, and Turkey are the three key forces determining Hungary's security, so I am striving to find solutions that are beneficial for Hungary regarding these countries.
