Hungarian opposition leader Péter Magyar has urged Russia to avoid interfering in the upcoming parliamentary elections, amid allegations of a covert Russian task force aiming to influence the vote in favor of Prime Minister Viktor Orbán. The elections on April 12 are seen as a significant challenge to Orbán's rule. Reports suggest that a team led by Vadim Titov is operating under diplomatic cover in Budapest to secure an Orbán victory, overseen by Kremlin official Sergei Kiriyenko. The Russian embassy denied these allegations, while Magyar emphasized the need for balanced relations with Russia if elected. Tensions between Hungary and Ukraine are also rising as the elections approach, with Orbán maintaining ties with Putin despite EU pressure.
