Increasingly the war in Ukraine has left Victor Orban isolated in Europe. Orban, as the EU's longest-serving current head of government, has become one of the heroes of the populist far right across the world. Erstwhile European partners have condemned Orban's reluctance to take action against Russia or even critizise Russian aggression in Ukraine.

Orban has also declared that Hungary would pay for Russian gas in rubles, as Putin has demanded.
