Hungary and Gazprom in Talks for Extra Russian Gas for Budapest in 2025
Hungarian foreign minister Péter Szijjártó also said that Budapest will veto European Union sanctions on Russia if the exemption for his country to purchase Russian oil is cancelled.
I’d be fascinated to know how they think they’re gonna get the gas from Russia to Hungary, because Ukraine has said point blank they’re turning off the taps in the next few months.

They don't. It's a scheme to get Ukraine be the bad guy for letting the poor Hungarians suffer in the winter.
Orban doesn't care for his people. They are just pawns in his power play.
I visited Budapest this fall, there are a lot of Hungarians that don't support this government. That said, no matter how much it sucks for those people, it's time to start looking at removing Hungary from the EU. NATO has no removal framework since that is counter to the nature of defensive treaties, but having hostile nations within the alliance threatens it's integrity. Perhaps new structure will be needed to allow the quarantine of compromised members. At this point I would be very concerned if Hungary has full security access to NATO intelligence and planning, not to mention equipment.
