The geographical separation between Hungary and Russia serves as a crucial strategic advantage for the Central European nation, according to its Prime Minister. He emphasized that having multiple countries situated between their borders provides a vital layer of security.
The leader pointed to historical precedents involving other powerful neighbors to underscore his point, stating that direct proximity to major powers has previously led to significant territorial consequences for Hungary. He described the current arrangement, where influence from larger states is diffused across the region, as creating a “valuable security” situation for his country. This configuration, he argued, is a favorable geopolitical reality.
