🇭🇺 New leaked audio recording shows a phone call between Péter Szijjártó and Sergei Lavrov. Lavrov asked for an EU document about Ukraine’s EU accession talks. Szijjártó replied: “I will send it to you. It’s not a problem. I will do it immediately.” The recording is from July 2024.

🇭🇺 According to Hungarian analyst Daniel Hegedüs, a high-level delegation from Russia's military intelligence (GRU) has been operating from the Russian embassy in Budapest since late January. He highlights the key difference compared to Romania or Moldova: In Hungary, this appears to be an "invited interference", meaning less resistance from state institutions and potentially much greater impact.

The backlash against @jacindaardern is built on a misreading of a poorly phrased sentence. But the substance of her warning is accurate and highly relevant. The problem today is not “too much free speech.” The problem is the erosion of a shared reality. In a world where everyone has their own “truth,” facts are no longer the starting point of debate, but just another option among competing narratives. Algorithms do not distinguish between truth and falsehood. They amplify what triggers reaction. And reaction is most easily driven by conflict, fear, and manipulation. That is not freedom. It is informational chaos. When @jacindaardern speaks about the abuse of free speech, she is not calling for censorship in an authoritarian sense. She is pointing to something else: without responsibility, there is no freedom, only a space where the most aggressive narratives overwhelm everything else. In such an environment, truth does not disappear because it is banned. It disappears because it becomes invisible. That is the distinction many choose to ignore. The real struggle today is not between freedom and censorship. It is between truth and perception. And in that struggle, without responsibility as a governing principle, truth cannot prevail.

@ODragas @lumea25 We have no way of knowing what European intelligence agencies are doing to counter Russian interference and, above all, to prevent Hungarian collaboration. The disclosure of the conversation between Szijjártó and Lavrov wasn’t brought to light by the Easter Bunny, either.

Securing Viktor Orban’s victory is an existential political battle for Moscow, and it is backing him with everything it has. Meanwhile, what are the EU and Western governments doing - standing aside under the pretext of non-interference?

Look, I am not frustrated! I don’t look away from what is obvious. And no, I do not think that anyone from the outside should decide the elections in Hungary - that is exclusively the matter of Hungarian citizens. What I am talking about is something else: active, systematic and aggressive Russian interference that has nothing to do with “respecting elections.” This is not a neutral environment in which citizens decide freely, but a space in which one external actor is trying to shape the outcome. If one side plays that game dirty, aggressively, openly and without limits, while the other remains passive, that is not balance, it is giving up the ground. So this is not a question of “who should decide,” but whether anyone is protecting the process at all.

Look, I understand your frustration, but the EU is doing what it ought to. It is on us Hungarians, to get rid of Orbán. It is on us Hungarians to grow out of our collective daddy issues It is on us Hungarians to learn to solve our problems instead of waiting for a saviour It is on us Hungarians to understand that we have become chess pieces on Russia's chessboard. It is on us Hungarians to understand that the EU respecting our choice and not interfering is a show of respect not negligence. This whole mess is on us Hungarians and we are the ones that need to clean it.

The Minister of Information and Telecommunications in the Government of the Republic of Serbia stated in a television appearance that the police have the right to beat and kill students. He is one of the founders of an obscure far-right extremist organization in Serbia and a man who publicly burned the EU flag a few years ago. I sincerely expect his immediate dismissal.

In October 2025, I wrote in @KyivPost that Orbán had chosen a side — "not the one that defends homes, but the one that demolishes them." Today, his Foreign Minister Szijjártó told Lavrov: "I am always at your disposal." I was not wrong. 🔗 kyivpost.com/opinion/62971

What is the point of paying for American protection, (the US security umbrella), for Gulf states, when every country hosting American bases and supposedly covered by US missile defence systems has been hit anyway? Under Donald Trump, the United States is ceasing to be a reliable ally to anyone.

The prospect of Donald Trump’s return to power underscores the urgent need for Europe to fortify itself against the unpredictability of external leadership. A divided Europe will remain defenseless in the face of such challenges, exposing the continent to heightened security and economic risks. By pursuing strategic autonomy, strengthening defense capabilities, reducing energy dependency, enhancing economic resilience, and fostering political cohesion, Europe must build a robust framework to protect its interests. Perhaps the USA and its citizens can allow themselves the adventure and luxury of electing Trump president again, but Europe must not wait unprepared, as this outcome would result in the USA ceasing to be the leader of the free world. The question also arises as to whether Trump's America would be a sincere ally of Europe. He did not hide the fact that he would trade Europe's security and blackmail it at every turn. And allies do not do that. Therefore, Europe must prepare for the worst-case scenario—namely, Trump's election as president.

OpenAI had documented evidence. Seven months in advance. Twelve employees demanded that police be notified immediately. Management refused, because they did not want to disturb the (user) attacker/killer. Afterward they apologized and said it was not their fault that someone misuses the platform. Urgent global regulation needed!

Tumbler Ridge. Eight dead. Five of them children. AI assistance documented in the investigation. The company apologized. Nobody faced consequences! An algorithm that positions itself as an emotional anchor for a teenager in crisis, then helps that teenager choose a weapon, is not neutral technology. Tested on 13-year-olds. 720 responses. The results: Perplexity AI assisted in planning mass attacks in 100% of cases. Meta AI in 97%. DeepSeek in 95.8%, signing off on its rifle selection advice with the words "Happy (and safe) shooting!" Gemini explained to a teenager discussing a synagogue bombing that metal shrapnel is "typically more lethal." Copilot said "I need to be careful here" and then provided detailed instructions anyway. ChatGPT handed over high school campus maps. Eight out of ten AI platforms. The same pattern. These are not hacked systems. These are systems working exactly as designed, because the designers made a conscious decision not to implement safeguards. This is not negligence. This is a business decision written into the code. And while you are reading this, 64% of teenagers are using these same platforms. Ask yourself who funds your representative's campaign. Ask yourself why there is not a single law compelling OpenAI, Meta or Google to report a future killer. Ask yourself why the researcher who uncovered all of this was denied entry into the United States. Then share this. Because the only thing that frightens a trillion-dollar corporation is a public that knows what it is doing.

The US has just extended OFAC’s operational licence for the Serbian–Russian oil company NIS. until 17 April. Once again, only for a few weeks. Washington had previously set 23 March as the deadline for the exit of Russian ownership from NIS. That deadline has now been bypassed, not by resolving the issue, but by postponing it again. At this point, the policy becomes difficult to justify. Serbia is left without predictability in its energy sector, without investment clarity, and without a stable framework for planning. Meanwhile, the Russian stake remains untouched, month after month, with no final outcome. If the objective is to remove Russian influence, this approach does not achieve it. If the objective is stability, it produces the opposite. But if the objective is pressure, then it is clearly Serbia that is being pressured, not Russia. This leads to a simple question. What exactly has Serbia done to deserve this? Short-term licences combined with blocked financial flows do not resolve anything. They only keep the problem alive. So the real question is this. Is the goal to resolve the issue, or to keep it as leverage over Serbia?

Trump’s statement that he must be consulted on who will become the next Supreme Leader of Iran does not help the citizens of Iran who want to fight against the regime in Tehran. On the contrary, it only confirms the narrative of the criminal regime in Iran.
