Hungary election: PM Viktor Orban criticises Ukraine’s Zelensky as he wins vote

Hungary’s nationalist Prime Minister Viktor Orban has won a fourth term by a landslide in the country’s general election, near-complete results show.

His right-wing Fidesz party won 135 of 199 seats with almost 99% of the votes counted, preliminary results show.

The opposition alliance led by Peter Marki-Zay was far behind with 56 seats.

In his victory speech, Mr Orban criticised Brussels bureaucrats and Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky, calling them “opponents”.

Mr Zelensky has repeatedly criticised Mr Orban’s ban on the transfer of arms to Ukraine, with which it shares a border.

However, Mr Orban – who has close ties with Moscow – has condemned the Russian invasion and taken in half a million refugees since the war began in February.
