  • 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.
