  • Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán posted a video alleging that Ukrainian assassins target his family.

  • Ukrainian media largely mocked these claims, portraying Orbán as a puppet of Russia with no evidence of real threats.

  • The video surfaced one month before Hungary’s parliamentary vote, where Orbán’s Fidesz party trails the opposition.

  • Reports frequently accuse Orbán of serving Moscow’s interests by using Russian support to influence the upcoming election.
  • Listen, you have probably heard in the news that the Ukrainians have now threatened not only me, but you as well. Specifically, my family, children, and grandchildren. Well, I’m calling you only about that, so that you won’t be afraid. If there is something not right, or you see something, tell me. I think it should be taken seriously. But you shouldn’t be afraid, OK? Well, fine, take care of yourself.
    — Viktor Orbán, from a video posted on his official Facebook page; reportedly a conversation with his daughter, with an unofficial translation cited by Kyiv Post.
