Two-thirds of Hungarians stand against the EU’s Ukraine agenda, according to the findings of a new survey. The poll, conducted jointly by the Nezopont Institute and Hungary’s public broadcaster MTVA, shows that a clear majority of Hungarians hold negative views both on Ukraine’s potential accession to the European Union (67 percent) and on providing military support to Ukraine (69 percent).
“The latest public opinion survey by the Nezopont Institute reflects a clear and decisive rejection in Hungary of Ukraine’s EU accession and military support as promoted by Brussels,” the institute said in a statement.
Sixty-seven percent of Hungarians have a negative opinion of our eastern neighbor’s potential EU membership, while only one-fifth (21 percent) would support it,
the researchers detailed.
The Gap Widens: Two-Thirds Stand with Viktor Orban
Compared to last year, the divide on this issue has widened significantly. Since April 2025, the share of those opposing Ukraine’s EU membership has increased from 62 percent to 67 percent, while support has dropped sharply from 29 percent to 21 percent. Opposition to military aid is even stronger: while 21 percent view it positively, 69 percent now oppose it.
“This is particularly noteworthy as elections approach,” the Nezopont Institute observed, “because while two-thirds of Hungarian society hold this position, a clear majority—58 percent—of Tisza Party supporters voted in favor of Ukraine joining the European Union in a party-initiated referendum led by Peter Magyar last year.”
