On May 10, the Hungarian government announced the detention of a citizen of Ukraine by the special service of the country, which was later allegedly deported and banned from entry for “spy activity”.
On the eve of the Hungarian Foreign Ministry, Peter Siyarto announced the expulsion of two Ukrainian diplomats from Budapest, accusing them of “espionage”. Subsequently, Kyiv reported the expulsion of two Hungarian diplomats in response.
The Security Service of Ukraine stated on May 9 that for the first time in the history of the country she exposed the agent network of military intelligence of Hungary, which carried out spy activity to the detriment of Ukraine.
The Hungarian Foreign Minister then responded to the SBU report, saying that the country’s authorities have not yet received official information from Ukraine on the detention of two persons in Transcarpathia, suspected of working on Hungarian intelligence.
