Russia Expels Hungarian Diplomats in Tit-for-Tat Move
Russia said the expulsions are a retaliatory measure after Hungary ordered 10 Russian diplomats to leave last month.
- On Thursday, the Russian Foreign Ministry ordered a group of Hungarian diplomats stationed at the embassy in Moscow and consulates in St. Petersburg and Kazan to leave the country.
- This action follows Hungary's decision last month to order 10 Russian diplomatic staff to leave, which Foreign Minister Anita Orb announced on September 8, citing national security concerns.
- Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova previously warned the response would be "tough and painful," and Moscow described this as a retaliatory measure with affected personnel required to depart within two weeks.
- The Hungarian Foreign Ministry took note of the decision, describing it as a response to Budapest's earlier measure while stating that Hungary's diplomatic presence in Russia will remain in place.
- Hungary maintained it is not interested in an escalation of diplomatic tensions, emphasizing that operations at its missions in Russia will continue uninterrupted despite the latest expulsions.
