Ukraine's security service says it has detained two alleged Hungarian spies accused of gathering military intelligence in the Zakarpattia region, near the shared border.
Ukraine's Security Service (SBU) claims to have uncovered a Hungarian military intelligence network operating in the Zakarpattia region. Two former Ukrainian military personnel were detained on suspicion of spying, accused of collecting information on air defences and law enforcement.
The SBU alleges the male suspect crossed into Hungary to report to his handler, receiving funds and equipment in return. The detainees face charges of treason and could face life imprisonment.
Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto urged caution, calling the claims unverified and suggesting they may be propaganda. He later announced the expulsion of two Ukrainian diplomats.
Tensions between the two countries have grown since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, with Hungary often opposing EU policies supporting Kyiv. The SBU did not link the alleged spying to Russia.
Former UK Defence Secretary Ben Wallace noted the sensitive nature of the alleged intelligence, calling the case more serious than previous incidents.
