Szijjarto’s Leaked Calls With Lavrov Prove That He’s Europe’s Last Real Diplomat

Circular European Parliament building under a dark stormy sky with lightning strikes.

The EU has no tolerance for real nationalists and the diplomats that represent them.

Leaked calls between Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto and his Russian counterpart Sergey Lavrov recently circulated in which he’s shown to have discussed his country’s attempts to remove Russians from the EU’s sanctions list. He posted on X that they only “proved that I say the same publicly as I do on the phone”, namely that “Hungary will never agree to sanction individuals or companies essential for our energy security, for achieving peace, or those with no reason to be on a sanctions list.”

That’s true, and they also prove that he’s Europe’s last real diplomat in the sense that he engages with Russia despite Hungary voting against it at the UNGA, which shows that he understands the importance of dialogue for achieving peace and ensuring his country’s objective national interests. The longer that the conflict rages, the more tenuous Hungary’s energy security becomes due to its reliance on easily disrupted Ukrainian-transiting Russian supplies, ergo his and Prime Minister Viktor Orban’s peace efforts.

Nevertheless, these same efforts have been dishonestly misportrayed as “treason” per the Mainstream Media’s framing of Szijjarto’s leaked calls with Lavrov, the perception of which is aimed at manipulating voters into casting their ballot for the opposition ahead of the upcoming parliamentary elections. The EU wants to subordinate Hungary, the continent’s last remaining conservative-nationalist outpost, to liberal-globalism. Here are five background briefings about how they’re meddling in the upcoming elections:

* 19 September 2025: “Hungary Warned About Brussels’ Three Regime Change Plots In Central Europe

* 13 February 2026: “Orban Is Right: Ukraine Has Truly Become Hungary’s Enemy

* 12 March 2026: “The West’s Accusation Of Russian Meddling In Hungary Is Actually A Confession

* 22 March 2026: “Istvan Kapitany Might Succeed In Hungary Where George Soros Failed

* 27 March 2026: “What’s Poland’s Role In The ‘Battle For Hungary’?

Discredited Russiagate conspiracy theories like the one that’s lent false credence by Szijjarto’s leaked calls with Lavrov are aimed at delegitimizing Orban’s potential re-election, which can then justify any of the five ways in which the EU is already preparing to handle Hungary in that event. Politico reported on them here, which boil down to: changing how the EU votes; introducing a multi-speed Europe; more financial pressure; suspending Hungary’s voting rights; and possibly even expelling it from the EU.

Just like Szijjarto is Europe’s last real diplomat, so too is Orban its last real nationalist who always puts his country’s interests first, which is why he authorized Szijjarto’s diplomacy with Lavrov. Circling back to that, there’s nothing scandalous about helping a partner’s unjustly sanctioned nationals nor in updating them about how ties could change due to their obligations to the bloc in which they’re a part. Szijjarto therefore did nothing wrong, but rather, he did everything right and that’s why he’s being targeted.

The EU has no tolerance for real nationalists and the diplomats that represent them, which contextualizes its campaigns against not only Orban and Szijjarto, but also Germany’s AfD, Poland’s conservative and populist-nationalist opposition parties, and Romanian nationalists too, et al. The difference between them and Hungary is that its nationalists are in power and actively advancing national interests, which is why the EU is actively working to remove them by hook or by crook.

Poland & Hungary Are Threatened By Ukraine Yet Still Remain Divided By It

Guest Post by Andrew Korybko. Reposted with permission.

The Ukrainian ultra-nationalists and intel agents that infiltrated their societies under the cover of refugees might carry out acts of terrorism against them, which could be averted by closer cooperation between their security services, but they still remain divided by Ukraine to its geopolitical benefit.

Poland and the other EU countries like Hungary that host Ukrainian refugees are poised to face more trouble from them after the conflict ends. As of February 2025, official police data showed that Ukrainians committed more crimes in Poland than any other foreigners. Some have also been accused of carrying out national security ones on behalf of Russia, which Russia denied while its media has instead suggested that they’re either anti-Polish ultra-nationalists (fascists) or Ukrainian intel agents.

Whatever the truth may be, former President Andrzej Duda warned in an interview with the Financial Times in early 2025 that “Ukraine’s Traumatized Troops Could Pose A Security Threat To All Of Europe”. Last fall, “The Ukrainian Ambassador To Poland Admitted That His Co-Ethnics Don’t Want To Assimilate” just before one of his country’s prominent online outlets predicted that “An Ethnic Ukrainian Lobby Might Soon Take Shape In The Polish Sejm”, which could altogether pose serious threats to Poland.

Instead of trying to thwart them, Foreign Minister Radek Sikorski encouraged Ukrainians to “knock out” the Druzhba pipeline supplying Hungary and Slovakia with Russian oil, thus earning him the nickname “Osama Bin Sikorski” from Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova. As explained in the preceding hyperlinked analysis, this could backfire on Poland by inciting terrorism against it by those ultra-nationalists who lay claim to its southeastern parts where many Orthodox East Slavs used to live.

Circling back to his post, some of the Ukrainian ultra-nationalists and/or intel agents that infiltrated the EU under the cover of refugees could attack Druzhba infrastructure in Hungary, knowing that they could then receive sanctuary in Poland just like the Nord Stream suspect that it refused to extradite to Germany. Although Poland and Hungary have a millennium of shared history and almost 700 years of friendship, Poland’s ruling duopoly nowadays despises Hungary for its pragmatic policy towards Russia.

Taking a cue from Sikorski, they might therefore turn a blind eye towards these “refugees” planning such an attack from their territory and/or plotting Color Revolution unrest in Hungary ahead of spring’s next parliamentary elections. About that scenario, Sikorski’s Hungarian counterpart Peter Szijjarto warned in mid-August that the EU could lead this effort, which came a day after Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service warned about the role that Ukrainians could play in advancing regime change there.

The EU, Ukraine, and Poland all want Viktor Orban out, the goal of which could be furthered by “refugees” (ultra-nationalists and/or intel agents) sabotaging the Druzhba pipeline within Hungary ahead of the next elections and then the economic consequences sparking large-scale preplanned protests. To be clear, none of this might materialize, but the point is that such a scenario is nonetheless credible for the reasons that were explained. Hungarian counter-intelligence would naturally do well to remain alert.

Closer coordination between the Polish and Hungarian security services for thwarting these threats from Ukrainian “refugees” is unlikely due to liberal-globalist Prime Minister Donald Tusk’s and new conservative President Karol Nawrocki’s shared hatred of his pragmatic policy towards Russia. A rapprochement between them through the Visegrad Group is therefore unrealistic, thus leaving their countries vulnerable to these hybrid threats and keeping them divided to Ukraine’s geopolitical benefit.

Hungarian mercenaries in Ukraine may be ‘super soldiers’ but they face criminal charges back home

From RMX.News

“I’m going to take a little break now, summer vacation, and then I’ll come back because it sounds cynical, but there’s money in war, and in my own opinion, I’m fighting on the good side,” says one Hungarian mercenary


Around two dozen Hungarian mercenaries are fighting for Ukraine against Russia, Mandiner reveals, citing a lengthy report out of Blikk, and two may already be dead. As to those who may seek to come back home, they should expect serious legal trouble.

“A few months ago, it was reported in the press that there were eight Hungarians on the front line on the side of the Ukrainians who were not conscripted as dual Ukrainian-Hungarian citizens, but who volunteered to join the Omega Guard, that is, they are fighting in the elite unit fighting on the side of the Ukrainians, the international legion,” said Richard Bagjos, a security expert who has served in international mercenary units in Kuwait and Iraq.

The Hungarian mercenaries all volunteered individually but “stick together.” As to those who end up victims of the war, Blikk writes that such secret groups will typically disguise their deaths as some sort of traffic accident, and the insurance company also indicates this when the family receives compensation. 

This year, Hungarian Richárd Bagjos was acquitted after facing charges for recruiting soldiers before the war in Ukraine even started. He now serves solely as a mercenary expert. He told Blikk that well-trained fighters can earn up to $5,000-$10,000 in Ukraine, depending on combat activity, task, and results, while others bring in around $1,000. 

Two Hungarian “super soldiers” include a French-Hungarian who formerly served as a Foreign Legionnaire and a British-Hungarian citizen with combat training by elite English private units and served in G4S.

The Legionnaire, Levi, who also spent time training Hungarians in Transcarpathia, told Blikk: “My name is not a secret within the profession, just like almost every other professional, it is in an international database. If someone needs our expertise, they can find it and hire as many mercenaries as they want. The Ukrainians approached me, who are still recruiting for their international guards today. Next to Omega is the 3rd Assault Brigade, it is mixed, Ukrainian soldiers and mercenaries also serve in it, I was a trainer here, and they are still looking for specialists who know Hungarian. The training is tough; they fight on the front line of the battlefield, and even before that, on diversionary missions behind Russian lines, intimidating untrained Russian units. This guard destroyed the Russians’ Russian 2 S4 Tyulpan mortars, with kamikaze drones, from a distance of 100 meters, which meant that they penetrated two kilometers from the front line for the action. We received a huge amount of money for this, and upon hearing this, hundreds of people signed up to join the Ukrainian mercenaries,” he said.

“There is also the Tempest Group, which has been fighting under the Ukrainian flag since 2024, in reconnaissance and night deployment operations, said the other Hungarian mercenary,” the Brit-Hungarian mercenary nicknamed Six added, before giving even more colorful details about the mercenaries on the ground in Ukraine. 

“The Compania Serpente is a Portuguese-speaking unit, Brazilian and South American ex-soldiers, anti-drug police units, and former bodyguards of drug cartels fight here. They are extremely tough, cruel, terrifying. The Russians are terrified of them. Tormenta Hispana is the same, only for soldiers who know Spanish, but here there are also three Hungarians, former Hungarian commandos, who in 2010 chose not to join the TEK, but to demobilize, and worked in Venezuela for years as bodyguards, in private armies. The Ukrainian General Staff knows exactly the figures and units of the mercenaries, but they do not really brag about this, and not because they do not want to upset the Hungarian government, but because in the mercenary world, it is not good to advertise who is fighting where. There are mercenaries from 32 countries in the Ukrainian legions, most of them are Americans.”

Six participated in the encirclement of Russian units and the identification of their leaders who committed war crimes, executions, and body snatching. The leaders, if captured, were handed over to Ukrainian intelligence, but it is not at all certain that they were brought to justice, he said. 

“Whether the war criminals were executed or brought to justice is none of the mercenary’s business,” Six said. “I’m going to take a little break now, summer vacation, and then I’ll come back because it sounds cynical, but there’s money in war, and in my own opinion, I’m fighting on the good side, and so are the 20-25 Hungarians here. I know of two guys who are not going home anymore, that’s part of our lives, but if I thought about it for even a minute, I’d drag them away from here.”

The Ukrainian International Legion is constantly recruiting fighters. Previous military records, career, training, weapons knowledge, technical-tactical knowledge, and combat experience must be verified, Blikk lists. If the applicant meets all requirements, they will be invited for a personal interview.

No help is given by Ukraine in getting a visa or other travel arrangements. All applicants who pass the first phase need to get to Kyiv on their own. 

And then, there are the legal ramifications for Hungarians who decide to be mercenaries in Ukraine. In short, it is a war crime. 

As noted by Mandiner, according to the Hungarian Penal Code, “anyone who recruits for military service or other military service in the territory of Hungary for a foreign armed organization – other than an allied armed force – or mediates contractors for such service shall be punished by imprisonment for a term of one to five years.” The same applies to anyone who “voluntarily joins a foreign armed organization participating in an international or non-international armed conflict, offers to do so, or participates in training in such an armed organization.”
