Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, right, and Russian President Vladimir Putin hold a joint press conference following their talks at the PM's office in the Castle of Buda in Budapest, Hungary, Wednesday, Oct. 30, 2019. Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has sought to assert Hungary’s neutrality in the war in Ukraine, even as his allies in the European Union and NATO move to assist the embattled country. Widely seen as Russian President Vladimir Putin’s closest ally in the EU, Orban has refused to supply Ukraine with military aid — the only one of Ukraine’s EU neighbors to take that stance.
