The Bulwark Daily · Michael Weiss: Iran Is Not Likely to Forget about the War · 14 Apr 2026 podcast

And Zelensky has done what he needed to do as a statesman, which is cut bilateral deals with partners in the global south that had wanted absolutely nothing to do with Ukraine.

The one country that still won't do anything with him is Israel, because Bibi is terrified of Trump.

Yeah, I mean, it was nothing short of breathtaking.

You know, Orban has spent 16 years doing everything he can to foreclose on exactly this contingency, which is to say, gerrymandering up the wazoo.

I think today, what, two days after the election was the first

Interview that the new incoming prime minister, Peter Maillard, has done with a public broadcast in Hungary.

So state media had basically blacked out, had banned all opposition.

So this was a guy who just traveled the country.

Went to six, seven, eight different towns and villages in a day, shook hands with everybody, had to go door knocking to make his presence known and to make his policies understandable to Hungarian voters.

There were other controversies.

I'm very happy to say that I played a part in some of them, including intercepted phone calls between the Hungarian voters.

soon to be former foreign minister, Peter Siarto, and Sergei Lavrov, the Russian foreign minister.

These phone calls were what?

Siarto feeding Lavrov in real time sensitive information or intelligence about EU negotiations over sanctions packages to punish Russia for its full-scale invasion of Ukraine, feeding him documents,

giving him briefs on the discussion about Ukraine and Moldova's accession talks with respect to the European Union, asking his Russian counterpart, give me talking points I can use in Brussels to dress up a pro-Russian initiative as serving the Hungarian national interests.

We showed the transcripts of these calls to Western intelligence and counterintelligence officials, and they said it read like a case officer, Lavrov, handling an agent, Siarto.

And you had chants in Hungary of, you know, Russians go home, Russians fuck off, Siarto is a spy.

Yesterday, the new prime minister designate said, we finally found Peter Siarto because he had disappeared after the election results came in for a day or more.

He's in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs shredding documents related to sanctions.

Wow.
