A European leader's top aide suggested his country wouldn't have resisted if Russia had invaded it
Viktor Orbán's political director received backlash after saying Hungary would probably not have resisted a Russian invasion like Ukraine did.
A top aide to Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has drawn criticism for suggesting that his country would not have resisted a Russian invasion like Ukraine did, multiple reports said.
Balázs Orbán, the prime minister's highly influential political director, made the remarks on the podcast of a conservative Hungarian news magazine.
Balázs Orbán, who is also an MP, is not related to Viktor Orbán.
"We probably would not have done what President Zelenskyy did two and a half years ago, because it is irresponsible, because one can see that he took his country into a war of defense," Balázs Orbán said, the Hungarian outlet Telex reported.

When the European "country" is question is Hungary, whose reputation has sunk to the unimaginable depths of being the Russian satellite that it is, referring to one of its leaders as "European leader" is very confusing in my view.
But the top aide's comment is hardly surprising.
I mean I'm sure that's what their leader told him to say, and by their leader I mean Putin. It's basically the worst kept secret at this point that Hungary isn't actually its own country anymore but a Russian territory.
i wanted to write the same thing. hungary is european on paper only.
