The cooperation agreement sheds more light on Prime Minister Viktor Orbán’s ties to the Kremlin ahead of Sunday’s general election.

More evidence is emerging of Prime Minister Viktor Orbán’s attempts to turn eastward and plug Hungary economically and politically into Russia — something his opponent is using against him in the run-up to Sunday’s election.

The Hungarian government signed an agreement with Russia to expand the two countries’ economic, trade, energy and cultural ties, according to documents drawn up by the Russian government and obtained by POLITICO. They starkly underscore how close Budapest and Moscow hope to become.
