Ukraine Detains Alleged Hungarian Spies in New Blow to Ties

Ukraine and Hungary expelled diplomats in a tit-for-tat move that followed the detention of two people who authorities in Kyiv said had been spying for its European Union neighbor.

The relations between the countries have deteriorated sharply after Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban emerged as Ukraine’s main antagonist in the EU since Russia’s invasion began. He’s opposed military aid to the war-torn country and maintained friendly ties with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
