64% of Hungarians consider Russia's invasion of Ukraine an act of aggression, but voters in the ruling Fidesz party of Viktor Orban are divided on the issue.

According to "European Pravda", this is supported by a survey conducted by the Publicus Institute from March 7-11, the results of which were published by Telex.

According to the survey, 44% of Fidesz voters consider the invasion of Ukraine to be clear Russian aggression. However, 25% of respondents blame the war on Ukrainians. Another third of the ruling party's voters did not dare to comment on the Russian invasion.

At the same time, the assessment of the situation differs radically among the voters of the opposition camp, where more than 90% of respondents condemn Russia's attack on Ukraine.

Voters of the two main political sides differed in their forecasts of the outcomes of the war. About 42% of Fidesz voters expect the Russians to take control of Ukraine quickly, and only 22% believe a long and bloody war is more likely.

Almost half of the opposition voters believe the second scenario is realistic, and only 16% believe that the Russians can win quickly.

When asked whether the war could reach Hungary, only 14% of all respondents said yes.

The biggest difference between pro-government and anti-government voters lies in their assessment of the Orban government's relations with Russia.

While 81% of Fidesz voters believe the prime minister should not condemn Russia more harshly than he does now, 90% of opposition voters believe he should do so.

As reported by EuroPravda, the citizens of Ukraine consider friendly almost all EU countries, but for Hungary and to a lesser extent for Germany, the results of the survey differ.

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban condemned Russia's invasion of Ukraine and said Budapest would not veto EU sanctions against Russia. However, Orbán opposes sanctions affecting energy supplies to Hungary.

Orban also said that his country would not send any weapons to Ukraine and would keep away from the war.

Parliamentary elections in Hungary will take place on April 3.
