Ukraine-Hungary Tensions Escalate due to diplomatic expulsions and espionage claims. Hungary has kicked out two Ukrainian diplomats, who were suspected of spying, according to Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto in a Facebook video. However, he did not provide specific details. Soon after Hungary's announcement, Ukraine revealed that it had dismantled a Hungarian military intelligence network in its region, bordering Hungary, and gathering sensitive military intelligence like anti-aircraft system coordinates[1][2][3]. Caught off guard, this is the first official exposure of a Hungarian espionage operation against Ukraine.
Not a Smooth Sail Between Nations
Politics in this region has been turbulent, and the diplomatic spat is part of a broader political disagreement. Hungary's Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has been maintaining a friendlier stance with Russia and opposing EU support for Ukraine in the conflict against Moscow[3]. Meanwhile, Ukraine favorably aligns itself with the EU and NATO, hoping for Western military backing against Russian aggression.
