Russia expels Hungarian diplomats in tit-for-tat move
Russia has ordered the expulsion of Hungarian diplomats, in a move reported by Reuters as retaliatory. The expulsion appears to mirror an earlier Hungarian action against Russian diplomats, continuing a pattern of reciprocal diplomatic expulsions between European capitals and Moscow amid strained relations over the war in Ukraine. Further details on the number of diplomats involved or the stated reasons have not yet been released.
Why now: Diplomatic expulsions between Russia and an EU/NATO member signal further deterioration of already tense relations.
