Future UN Secretary-General (according to the White House) Viktor Orbán and Donald Trump meet in the corridors of the UN. Trump rubs his hands with satisfaction: — Well, Viktor, get ready. You'll be taking over this whole operation on Manhattan soon. You'll be the boss there!

Orbán looks at him with alarm: — Mr. President, you yourself say that the UN is an absolutely useless, helpless, and hopeless organization that causes nothing but damage! Why would I need it? Trump shrugs and laughs: — See? You're already a perfect fit for this position—you simply won't find a better specialist in managing completely useless structures in the world!

 

While European institutions contemplate preventive containment mechanisms, Washington is preparing an entirely different, global arena for the notorious Hungarian politician.

 

 

English Summary

 

Reporting on high-level geopolitical shifts, The Wall Street Journal reveals that the Trump administration is considering former Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán as a candidate for UN Secretary-General when António Guterres's term ends in late 2026. Washington views Orbán as a potential compromise candidate for the UN Security Council (supported by Russia and China) and a key figure for the MAGA movement, while Hungarian media suggest the role could provide Orbán with diplomatic immunity against domestic anti-corruption probes.

 

A massive cyberattack resulting in a 281 GB leak of 421,200 emails from Germany's far-right AfD party has exposed internal scandals, including an alleged 2018 trip to Syria routed via Hezbollah with Russian security guarantees, conflicting statements from party leader Alice Weidel regarding illegal foreign donations, and widespread extremist and anti-Semitic rhetoric. German media note the structured leak (featuring AI search tools) provides significant evidence for intelligence services and activists seeking a constitutional ban on the party.

 

An investigation by The Guardian reveals that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu exerted intense pressure on IDF military leadership to launch a preemptive strike against Iranian nuclear facilities during his election campaign to boost falling ratings. The IDF General Staff blocked the orders, warning of catastrophic risks without US coordination, while exit polls indicate an election deadlock between Netanyahu and opposition leader Gadi Eisenkot.

 

Swedish police arrested former pro-Russian Ukrainian MP Dmytro Svyatash in Stockholm. Svyatash, wanted in Ukraine for high treason and slated by Russia to be a puppet governor of Kharkiv, traveled to Sweden on a private jet exclusively to attend a Stevie Wonder concert, according to his lawyer Mark Safaryan.

 

A new book by journalist Matthew Cole reveals that Jared Kushner had access to secret bank accounts in the UAE and Israel holding nearly $2 billion deposited by Saudi Arabia and UAE leaders during Trump's first presidency. Dutch intelligence discovered the arrangement after exploiting an iPhone vulnerability via a compromised server linked to a GRU hacker, capturing screen data of Kushner accessing the accounts.

 

Russian bailiffs opened 14 enforcement proceedings to recover nearly 19.87 billion rubles ($200M+) from former "Rosnano" head Anatoly Chubais over failed state-funded tech initiatives, including the "Plastic Logic" school tablet project. Chubais, who fled Russia after the 2022 invasion, now faces asset seizures in absentia.
