Orbán, who is seeking another term in the April 12 vote, posted a social media video in which he appeared to comfort family members over what he described as threats from Ukraine. The post referred to a video said to show a retired Ukrainian intelligence general threatening the Hungarian leader, although some critics have suggested the footage may have been generated using AI or otherwise manipulated, a claim that has not been independently verified. Orbán is also preparing a new phase of campaigning, with plans to visit smaller towns and villages across Hungary next week as he tries to reconnect directly with voters in the face of the strongest electoral challenge to his rule in years.
