Zoltan Kereszteny, an activist of the Hungarian civil society organization “Ujratervezes” (Redesigning), holds his hand next to a Russian uniform with an “Orban” name label on it, in front of the protocol entrance of the Hungarian government's lounge at the Budapest Airport on December 12, 2023, during the group's flash mob. Activists staged the protest against Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban's Ukraine and Russia policy, prior to a summit of the European Union (EU). According to Kereszteny's facebook page, the activists wanted to symbolically hand over the uniform to Orban, so that he could wear it “when he represents (Russian President Vladimir) Putin's interests at the EU meetings”. Leaders of the 27 European Union members meet on December 14, 2023 to decide the fate of a promised 50 billion-euro ($54 billion) aid package for Ukraine, additional funds for weapons shipments and opening Ukraine's path to join the bloc.
