Ukraine expels two Hungarian diplomats over spying row
Ukraine says it was expelling two Hungarian diplomats in retaliation for Budapest expelling two of its own, in an escalating row over Kyiv’s detention of alleged spies for Hungary.
“Two Hungarian diplomats must leave our country within 48 hours,” Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiga says in a post on X. “We are acting in response to Hungary’s actions, based on the principle of reciprocity and our national interests.”
