Hungary Expels 10 Russian Diplomats Citing Diplomatic Violations; Russia Threatens Retaliation
Hungary has ordered 10 Russian diplomats to leave the country, citing activities deemed incompatible with their diplomatic status under the Vienna Convention. Hungarian officials emphasized that this decision protects national sovereignty without severing diplomatic ties with Russia. Moscow condemned the expulsions, threatening a harsh retaliation and rejecting Hungary's assurances of continued dialogue. The move signals a shift in Hungary's approach to Russia following years of close relations under former Prime Minister Viktor Orban.
