- The WSJ said sources in all three countries confirmed that the Trump administration supports Orbán’s bid.
- Russia’s deputy foreign minister said none of the three countries would nominate Orbán; another country would have to put him forward.
- Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski and his Ukrainian counterpart Andrij Sbyha expressed opposition to Orbán’s possible candidacy.
- A candidate needs support from at least nine of the Security Council’s 15 members; any of its five permanent members can veto.
Viktor Orbán, as UN Secretary-General, would put to good use the masterful veto and blackmail skills he has developed over years of derailing major EU decisions.— Ukraine's Foreign Minister Andrij Sbyha wrote this on X in response to the possibility of Orbán becoming UN Secretary-General.

- The government, which has been in office since May, published a document signed by Prime Minister Peter Magyar in Hungary’s official gazette overnight.
- The guidelines for the September UN General Assembly condemn Russia’s military aggression, reaffirm Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, and recognize its right to self-defense.
- The statement marks a break with Viktor Orbán’s Moscow-friendly foreign policy, which diluted or obstructed EU sanctions against Russia and ran campaigns against Ukraine.
- In June, Magyar’s civil government enabled the start of EU accession talks with Kyiv, but it continues to reject its own arms deliveries to Ukraine and an accelerated path to EU membership.
