Hungary claims it exposed 2 Ukrainian 'spies' amid mutual espionage accusations

Season 1, Ep. 8332

Hungarian intelligence services have uncovered two alleged Ukrainian "spies," Hungarian government spokesperson Zoltan Kovacs wrote on the social media platform X on May 20.


The new allegations escalate a diplomatic row sparked by mutual espionage accusations between Kyiv and Budapest.


Ukraine's Security Service (SBU) claimed on May 9 that it had exposed a Hungarian espionage network in western Ukraine, detaining two agents. In response, Hungary expelled two Ukrainian diplomats, a move met with reciprocal expulsions by Kyiv.


Kovacs said that Hungary's Fidesz party identified the individuals as Roland Tseber and Istvan Hollo.
