Hungary has expelled 10 Russian diplomats, citing their involvement in "unacceptable" activities that violate the Vienna Convention, marking a significant shift in its foreign policy away from past pro-Moscow leanings.
Prime Minister Péter Magyar highlighted the expulsion's seriousness, although he refrained from detailing the specific allegations against the diplomats.
The move comes amid growing concerns over Russian intelligence operations in Hungary, reflecting a broader scrutiny of Moscow’s actions across Europe.
In retaliation, Russia has vowed a "harsh and painful" response, escalating diplomatic tensions between the two nations.
Hungarian Foreign Minister Anita Orban stressed that the expelled diplomats engaged in activities incompatible with their diplomatic status, underscoring the severity of the situation.
This diplomatic rift signals a potential recalibration of Hungary's international relationships, particularly within the context of its NATO commitments and the ongoing geopolitical landscape shaped by Russian aggression.
