Ukraine, Hungary expel diplomats following spy accusations
dw.com —
Ukraine and Hungary have engaged in a diplomatic spat, with both countries expelling diplomats amid accusations of espionage. This tit-for-tat action reflects escalating tensions between the two nations. Kyiv arrested two individuals suspected of spying for Hungary, prompting Budapest to retaliate by expelling two Ukrainian diplomats. Ukraine responded in kind, also expelling two Hungarian diplomats in a reciprocal move. This exchange follows French President Emmanuel Macron's call for a 30-day ceasefire in the Russia-Ukraine war, supported by potential "massive sanctions" against any party violating the truce.
