Hungary votes on Sunday in a parliamentary election that could end Viktor Orbán’s 16‑year grip on power. Once dominant, the nationalist prime minister is now trailing in opinion polls amid economic stagnation and growing frustration among voters.
The election pits Orbán’s vision of a more authoritarian Hungary with closer ties to Russia against an opposition promising a return to a pro‑European course.
Zsuzsanna Végh, programme officer at the German Marshall Fund of the United States, explains why Orbán is suddenly vulnerable — and what the outcome could mean for Hungary’s democracy and its place in Europe.

MORE: Ukrainian forces’ increasing strikes against Russian air defense systems and drone interception rates have facilitated recent Ukrainian battlefield successes. ⬇️
Ukrainian forces in Winter 2025-2026 and Spring 2026 have made their most significant gains on the battlefield since Ukraine’s incursion into Kursk Oblast in August 2024 and have liberated the most territory in Ukraine itself since the 2023 counteroffensive.
Ukrainian Unmanned Systems Forces (USF) Commander Major Robert “Magyar” Brovdi reported on April 9 that USF forces have destroyed nine Russian air defense systems in occupied Ukraine since April 1. Ukrainian USF forces have increasingly intercepted Russian drones since late February and March 2026, intercepting a total of 2,975 in January, 3,679 in February, and 7,674 in March 2026.
Interceptor drones have important tactical battlefield implications as Russian forces rely on drones to disrupt Ukrainian defenses, which, in turn, enables Russian advances and prevents Ukrainian advances. Ukraine’s increasing interceptions of Russian drones are therefore contributing to slowing Russian advances and permitting Ukrainian counterattacks.
Ukraine’s defensive successes, drone adaptations, and mid-range strike campaign are creating compounding effects that are degrading Russian frontline forces.Institute for the Study of War (@TheStudyofWar)1/ NEW: Russian and Ukrainian reporting appears to confirm battlefield reporting that Ukrainian forces have achieved a drone advantage over Russian forces on the battlefield. Ukraine’s drone advantage is likely contributing to the stalling of Russian advances and recent Ukrainian counterattacks.
Other Key Takeaways:
Ukrainian forces’ increasing strikes against Russian air defense systems and drone interception rates have facilitated recent Ukrainian battlefield successes.
Unverified reporting suggests that the Kremlin privately acknowledges Ukraine’s upper hand in drone operations on the battlefield and defense industrial base (DIB) production.The Kremlin is deploying Russian military vessels to escort Russian sanctions-evading tankers through the English Channel.
Russian forces continue to conduct covert submarine operations near British undersea fiber-optic cables and pipelines in the North Atlantic Ocean.
Ukrainian forces used drones to destroy a Russian-controlled bridge in occupied Kherson Oblast, possibly for the first time in combat history.
Ukrainian forces recently advanced in the Kupyansk direction.
Russian forces launched 119 drones against Ukraine.— https://x.com/TheStudyofWar/status/2042399346172342464

This video covers Operation Coast to Coast, a large-scale FBI and ICE investigation targeting a multi-state human trafficking network operating through “wellness spas” across the United States. In a coordinated early morning operation across 14 states, federal agents arrested nearly 30 key organizers and rescued more than 60 victims. Investigators uncovered a structured system using debt contracts, shell companies, and interstate movement to control victims and generate illegal profits. Financial records revealed complex money laundering channels moving funds offshore. This case highlights how organized crime networks use legitimate-looking businesses to conceal large-scale exploitation and operate within local communities.
