Russia retaliates after Hungary expels 10 diplomats
Original: Russia retaliates after Hungary expels 10 diplomats, deepening Budapest-Moscow rift since Orbán’s ouster
Moscow has carried out retaliatory measures in response to Hungary's expulsion of 10 Russian diplomats, a move that deepens the rift between Budapest and Moscow. The tit-for-tat expulsions mark a further deterioration in relations that had long been unusually close under Viktor Orbán, whose departure from power reportedly reshaped Hungarian foreign policy toward Russia.
Why now: The diplomatic tit-for-tat signals a sharp break in one of Russia's closest relationships within the EU and NATO.
