A top aide to Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has drawn criticism for suggesting that his country would not have resisted a Russian invasion like Ukraine did, multiple reports said.

Balázs Orbán, the prime minister's highly influential political director, made the remarks on the podcast of a conservative Hungarian news magazine.

Balázs Orbán, who is also an MP, is not related to Viktor Orbán.

"We probably would not have done what President Zelenskyy did two and a half years ago, because it is irresponsible, because one can see that he took his country into a war of defense," Balázs Orbán said, the Hungarian outlet Telex reported.
