Hungarian Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó has reportedly been leaking information from EU meetings to Moscow for several years, as noted by an anonymous source in The Washington Post.
The article reveals that Hungarian Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó has been regularly using breaks during EU member state meetings to call Moscow and inform Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov about discussions taking place. A source from the Washington Post elaborated that these communications resulted in Moscow being essentially present at almost every EU meeting over the years. This raises serious questions about the integrity of communication within the EU and the potential for outside influence on European affairs.
Rastislav Káčer, a former foreign minister and diplomat, confirmed his long-held suspicion that information leaks from Hungary to Russia have occurred for years. He asserted that Szijjártó has been working closely with Moscow and suggested that similar information leaks might also be transpiring from NATO. Káčer highlighted Hungary's vulnerability, indicating that information is flowing freely to Russia and that they could be conducting operations through Hungary's channels.
Hungary, under Orbán's leadership, plays a vital role as a strategic ally for the Kremlin within the EU and NATO. The article underscores that Moscow has a vested interest in maintaining Orbán's government, which could have implications for diplomatic strategies and alliances in the region as Europe grapples with the challenge of Russian influence within its borders.
