New York Times: Orban's defeat could change the course of the war in Ukraine

In other words, the momentum of the global nationalist revival that Donald Trump so vigorously championed has been broken, concludes New York Times correspondent Andrew Higgins.

The elections were widely seen as a showdown between friends and foes of liberal democracy. The latter have for years applauded the prime minister for taking their side. The consequences extend far beyond Hungary, and this could alter the entire course of the war in Ukraine and have implications for European security.

Orban has been working to export illiberal democracy, positioning himself to the world as an invincible guru.

The result will likely disappoint U.S. President Donald Trump but will delight liberals and the EU even more. Orban is a politician who has been an invaluable ally to Russian President Putin.
