Global News
What is global news?
Something that happened or was uncovered recently anywhere in the world. It doesn't have to have global implications. Just has to be informative in some way.
Post guidelines
Title format
Post title should mirror the news source title. If you don't like the title of article, look for an alternative source instead of editorializing it.
URL format
Post URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
[Opinion] prefix
Opinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title. Opinion articles refer to articles that their publisher doesn't explictly endorse.
Country prefix
Country prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|, :, etc.) if the news is from a local publisher who doesn't clearly mention the country.

Huh, I have seen a lot of people saying that, but pro-EU doesn't mean anti-Russia / Putin.
(I hope I am wrong, just seems like a lot of enthusiasm for this guy here without actually looking under the table to see where his hands are, I want to be wrong, but have a bad feeling).
He's decidedly anti-Russia, Russia literally sent people to Hungary and expended considerable resources to prevent him from getting elected.
Can you provide a source where he has taken an anti russia action in an official capacity, or an anti russian speech he has given? A declaration that Putin would be arrested for war crimes if he came to Hungary?
Russia spends lot of money on lots of things in the intelligence world, so yeah he might be a little worse for Russia, but that doesn't mean he is anti-Russia.
Not trolling, honestly asking for a source.
I don't disagree with his feelings on Benjamin, so I am not trying to make this into a straw man, but I think it is reasonable when making declarations about arresting world leaders for war crimes, that you should apply that across the field, especially when they are happening to a close neighbor.
I imagine its easier to be tough on Israel because they don't provide natural gas or other important resources.
Since he's just PM-elect, it's mostly all speeches, but his current stance is officially this:

Basically "we want to maintain cool and distant, pragmatic relations with Russia, the aggressor in the war they should stop". He supports sanctions. He previously went on the record saying that "Putin is influencing the election [for Orbán]".

He also had a bunch of campaign rallies with people chanting "Russkies home".
