On Hungary

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban is an effective politician who protects interests of Hungary, Peskov said.
"He [Orban] is indeed a very effective politician, an effective head of state who protects the interests of his country. Not Russia, not America, but his own country, Hungary," Peskov told reporters.
Many forces in Europe would not want Orban to win the election again, favoring with his opponents, Peskov added.

Other Statements

Russia does not sympathize with attempts to publish the contents of closed conversations at the highest level, Peskov said.
"We are very sensitive to the conversations that are taking place at a high and top level, and we do not sympathize with any attempts to make public the materials of such conversations," Peskov told reporters when asked if the Kremlin views Bloomberg publishing the transcript of Russian President Vladimir Putin's telephone conversation with Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban as an attempt to divide the countries.
Nothing in the published transcript can put Russia at odds with Hungary, the official added.
Relevant services are engaged in the normalization of the Internet connection in Russia, Peskov said.
