Russia Expels Group of Hungarian Diplomats in Retaliation
Original: Russia Expels ‘Group’ of Hungarian Diplomats in Tit-for-Tat Move
Russia has expelled a group of Hungarian diplomats, describing the move as a tit-for-tat response. The expulsion escalates tensions between Moscow and Budapest, which has maintained closer ties to Russia than many EU and NATO allies. Details on the number of diplomats or the specific actions prompting the reciprocal measure were not immediately provided.
Why now: Diplomatic expulsions between a EU/NATO member and Russia draw attention amid ongoing tensions over the war in Ukraine.
