Hungary's nationalist Prime Minister Viktor Orbán on Friday celebrated his country's status as the host of upcoming talks between U.S. President Donald Trump and Russia's Vladimir Putin, a meeting where the two leaders are expected to discuss an end to the war in Ukraine.

Hungary's Prime Minister Viktor Orban said on Friday that he had talked with Russian President Vladimir Putin and preparations for a summit between Putin and U.S.

A former ally of the authoritarian prime minister is leading in the polls as an election with huge implications for Europe and the war in Ukraine looms.

The logistics remain unclear, especially as the EU has closed its airspace for Russian-registered planes since the invasion of Ukraine.

Viktor Orban has been handed a moment in the global spotlight, and with it an opportunity to lift his campaign for re-election in Hungary next year.

The Hungarian leader has secured power by keeping control over the news media. Now, a political opponent is starting to show the limits of his tactics.
