Russia expels Hungarian diplomats in tit-for-tat move
Original: Russia expelled Hungarian diplomats. Reaction to Budapest's actions
Russia has expelled Hungarian diplomats, a move reported as a response to actions taken by Budapest. The expulsion adds fresh strain to relations between Moscow and Hungary, which has often positioned itself as having warmer ties with Russia than many other EU members. The specific number of diplomats and the exact trigger were not detailed in initial reporting.
Why now: Diplomatic expulsions between an EU member and Russia are notable given Hungary's unusually accommodating stance toward Moscow amid the Ukraine war.
