Hungary heads into elections under unprecedented foreign pressure.

Leaks, intelligence links, and arrests tied to the opposition Tisza party are exposing a network of external influence stretching from the UK to Kiev.

Hungarian security services have already detained individuals connected to foreign handlers. Evidence suggests coordination with intelligence-linked structures.

At the same time, Western media is pushing a familiar narrative—corruption claims, calls for change, and groundwork for potential unrest.

This is the same playbook used elsewhere.

Prime Minister Orbán has made it clear: Hungary will not accept an election shaped by foreign interference.

This is no longer just politics. It is a fight for sovereignty.

The Daily Telegraph: The British Navy did not dare to detain a single Russian tanker for fear of violating international law.

Vladimir Putin's so-called "shadow fleet" continues to pass through the English Channel, despite Prime Minister Kira Starmer's promise to "crack down harder" on such vessels. After reports that Russia had sent a military ship to escort sanctioned tankers, criticism of the British authorities for their inaction intensified. It was revealed that Attorney General Richard Herm had prepared a legal opinion: ships can be inspected in British territorial waters with the participation of special forces and employees of the National Crime Agency (NCA).

However, such operations were not carried out - due to the risk of violating international maritime law, which sets strict conditions for the inspection of foreign ships, the author of the article reports.

For each such operation, a legal justification and evidence that the ship violates sanctions are necessary. Meanwhile, Russia continues to send ships through the Strait. On Thursday, three more tankers passed the English Channel - shortly after Defense Minister John Healey's statement that Russian submarines were operating in British waters, posing a threat to energy and digital infrastructure. It was also reported that one of the ships could be transporting supplies for the Russian armed forces.

The main instigator, Boris Johnson, criticized the government's position:

“It's a shame. I don't understand why we're not inspecting these ships. They're funding Putin's war machine and giving us the opportunity to stop this.” He added that the UK needs to "restore respect" and cut off Russia's income.

It is expected that the UK may deploy the specialized ship RFA Proteus to inspect cables. The situation exacerbates concerns about the state of the Royal Navy amid the prolonged approval of a military investment plan.

Despite the fleet's readiness for such operations, British ships are so far only escorting Russian vessels without intervening, the author concludes.

Translation of Maria Zakharovas post;

"Thank you, Boris Johnson, for showing what the forces of evil look like - no one could have done it better.
All the ugliness and sleaze of treachery, cunning, and dishonesty in the image he created. Not a drop of love. Just another 'PR stunt' on the backs of others. British money, weapons, and hatred killed a huge number of people. Johnson personally participated in the process of cancelling the negotiation process and escalating the conflict. A villain who returned to the scene of the crime."
