The Hungarian prime minister resembles Jon Snow as he stands alone against the “EU bureaucratic warmongers,” Kirill Dmitriev says
Senior Russian negotiator Kirill Dmitriev has compared Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban to ‘Game of Thrones’ character Jon Snow, casting him as the lone defender of European law as the EU moved to indefinitely freeze Russian sovereign assets.
In a post on X on Friday, Dmitriev praised Orban for “defending the EU’s legal and financial system from crazy EU bureaucratic warmongers,” saying the Hungarian leader is fighting to “reduce migration, increase competitiveness, and restore sanity, values and peace.”
Dmitriev attached a clip from the Battle of the Bastards, one of Game of Thrones’ most iconic scenes. The sequence shows Jon Snow standing alone on a battlefield, drawing his sword as the cavalry of the House of Bolton thunders toward him.

On Friday, Orban – who has on numerous occasions blasted the EU’s confrontational policies on Russia – accused Brussels of “raping European law,” referring to the vote allowing the bloc to bypass unanimous approval when extending sanctions on Russian sovereign assets, estimated at €210 billion ($230 billion). Moscow has condemned the freeze as “theft,” warning of legal retaliation if the bloc confiscates the assets.
In a separate post, Dmitriev also took aim at NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte, comparing him to the Night King, the central antagonist of Game of Thrones, who commands the undead and lacks empathy.

— Kirill Dmitriev (@kadmitriev) December 12, 2025The comparison followed comments by Rutte, who accused Russia of “bringing war back to Europe” and urged NATO members to prepare for a conflict on a scale faced by earlier generations. Dmitriev said Rutte “does not have family or children” and “wants war” – adding, however, that “peace will prevail.”
Dmitriev, who has played a prominent role in efforts to reach a settlement of the Ukraine conflict, echoed remarks by Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto, who criticized Rutte for “fueling war tensions.”
