Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said in an interview with public radio on Friday that Brussels and Ukraine are assembling a puppet government with the aim of changing Hungary's policy on Ukraine after the elections.

PM Orbán said "they went looking for a prime minister candidate, a party leader and now a defense minister."

"We should have no doubt that we are facing another political concept and strategy, another future for Hungary. A pro-Brussels puppet government would mean that the government is pro-Ukraine and the defense minister is pro-war. Even Hungarian parties do little to disguise that. The Tisza and the [Democratic Coalition] are essentially openly pro-Ukraine political organisations," he said.

Commenting on an upcoming EU summit, PM Orbán said the "only topic in Brussels is Ukraine's EU accession. This is the number one issue of international politics in Brussels now, not tomorrow or the day after, but here and now."

"They think in Brussels that Europe is at war, that Ukraine is its vanguard fighting our war."
