Magyar condemned the current Hungarian government's rapprochement with Moscow, as well as reports of Russian special services interfering in elections in favor of Orbán.
At the same time, he stated that his future government would adhere to a "pragmatic approach towards Russia."
"Pragmatism means that we do not interfere in Russia's internal affairs, and they do not interfere in ours. We are two sovereign countries and respect each other, but we don't necessarily have to like each other," the opposition politician said.

– said Magyar.
In addition, Magyar criticized the Orbán government for its inability to diversify its energy balance and advocated for new agreements and the construction of new infrastructure to supply oil and gas from other sources to Hungary.
However, according to him, "this does not mean that we should stop using Russian oil tomorrow."
"This means that EU resources should be used rationally," he added.
