Moscow expels Hungarian diplomats in response to Budapest
Original: Moscow’s ‘Harsh and Painful’ Response to Hungary Stops at Diplomatic Expulsions
Russia has responded to Hungary with the expulsion of diplomats, a move its foreign ministry described as 'harsh and painful'. The reprisal stops short of broader retaliation, staying within the diplomatic sphere. The dispute underscores the strain between Moscow and Budapest, long seen as Russia's most sympathetic partner in the European Union, and observers are watching whether ties deteriorate further.
Why now: A rare diplomatic rift between Russia and its closest EU ally is a notable shift in wartime European politics.
