Russia respects decision of the Hungarian people, Kremlin says

The Kremlin has given its first response to the ousting of Russia's long-time ally Viktor Orban, saying Moscow expects to maintain its relationship with Hungary, according to Russian state media.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov acknowledged that the people of Hungary had made their choice and Russia respected the decision.

Peskov added that Russia will be waiting to see what Peter Magyar's government will do after claiming victory, adding that the Kremlin doesn't believe the election will affect the Russia-Ukraine conflict.

The spokesman said Russia wants to build good relations with Hungary and other European nations.
