Orbán Uses AI-Driven Ads To Sway Voters

Hungary's pro-Russian prime minister Viktor Orbán is running an aggressive campaign ahead of the April 12, 2026 election, using AI-generated billboards and videos to portray Ukraine and the EU as threats to Hungary. The government has blocked the EU's 20th round of sanctions, halted diesel shipments and threatened to veto a 90-billion-euro EU loan to Kyiv, fueling concerns about disinformation and EU policy disruption.
