""The U.S. Embassy certainly knows the polls and that Viktor is not on the winning track. Betting on a loser - that sounds weird.""
""The immediate rejoinder will be: We're at war with Iran. It seems to be going either not well or escalating - and this is how you spend your time.""

Orban is trailing in polls against Peter Magyar, who is criticizing him for corruption and economic issues. Reports suggest that Orban's government has ties to Moscow, raising concerns about his political future. The U.S. Embassy is aware of Orban's declining popularity, and experts question the wisdom of Vance's support given the geopolitical context and ongoing conflicts.
