Hungary Orban accused of using Ukraine spy order in fighting for political survival

A worshiper of arrests, diplomatic expulsions and public humiliation have immersed the relations between the war -torn Ukraine and its barbed neighbor from NATO Hungary to a new low level.

At the heart of the row, it is accused that the Victor Orban’s Faces government in Hungary uses spitting to fight its main political rival, the opposition party Tisza, which leads to the urns before the 2026 elections.

Earlier this month, Ukraine SBU Security Service has announced the arrest of two Ukrainian citizens accused of spying on Hungary.

According to the allegations, supported by video and audio evidence, the man and the woman were in the pay of Hungarian military intelligence, preparing for Hungarian hostilities in Ukraine.

At that time, Hungary expelled two Ukrainian diplomats, and Ukraine followed the example in response to Tit-Za-tat, which further damaged the acidic relationship. Hungary also arrested a Ukrainian citizen and accused him of spying.

Orban is widely regarded as the closest ally of Russia in the European Union and its government has violated its ranks with its European partners, maintaining trade and opposing sanctions against Russia, refusing to resolve the transit of weapons and compares Ukraine with Afghanistan.

He now accused Kyiv of trying to “defile” his country.

All eight million Hungarian households recently received a government questionnaire called “VOX 2025”, inviting them to reject EU membership of Ukraine.

Less than a year ago, Orban introduced himself as the only person on the planet, other than the Pope, who was trying to ensure unconditional cessation of the fire.

But his critics depict his so -called peace for peace in Kiev, Moscow and other capitals as an attempt to reward Russian aggression.

On the day after Orban met with Russian Vladimir Putin, Russian rockets hit the Children’s Hospital in Ommatitis in Kiev.

Three days later, party leader Tisa in Hungary Peter Majar brought $ 40,000 in Hungarian medical care to the hospital. Public opinion polls suggest that Magyar can expel Orban out of power next April.

The man who drives Tisa leader to Kiev, Roland Tsber, is now a target of Fidesz, who are trying to blame the Hungarian opposition party in Hungary’s broadcast.

Roland Tsber came across a fresh, hardworking politician when I met him at a Ukrainian refugee center in Urrrtern in April.

He was helping to distribute medical help from Hungary, worked with Hungarian doctors and psychologists who support the internally displaced Ukrainians from the Eastern War area of ​​2022.

His problems began within weeks after Peter Majar’s visit, he told me.

In August, he heard that he was banned by Hungary and at the insistence of Hungary from the entire Schengen zone of the EU, without explanation.

The letter from G -n Cuber to the Hungarian Embassy in Kyiv remained unanswered.

The leader of the far right our homeland in the Hungarian Parliament Laszlo Torotskay marks him “terrorist”. Mate Cocis, the leader of the Fidesz faction in the Hungarian parliament, called it “Ukrainian spy”, long in the sights of the Hungarian counter -reference.

“I reject all the similar accusations that are trying to connect me to intelligence activities of all kinds. It’s ridiculous. I’m a transcarapatic politician who works honestly and openly for his homeland and Hungarian interests,” churches told me in a telephone interview.

As an elected, an independent advisor at the Regional Assembly of Transcarpathia, who sits in the political group of Ukrainian President Volodimir Zelenski of the Party of People, he meets politicians of all nuances, he says, including Deputy Foreign Minister Levente Majar.

“I am a Ukrainian politician and I meet all. The whole situation is ridiculous. They want to get me into this spy history. But anyone with any common sense can understand that this is absurd.”

The worst connection in the Hungarian government’s story is that if it was indeed at the Hungarian Intelligence Radara, government politicians and Peter Majar as a member of the European Parliament would be warned to stay away from it.

The declining Hungarian community in Transcarpathia has become secured damage in the Hungarian Hungarian order.

At the last census of Ukraine in 2001, their population was 150,000, but the latest estimates suggest that their number was halved to 70-80,000. Dozens have lost their lives, fighting for Ukraine against Russia.

Another reversal in history is that a former Hungarian staff chief Romulz Rushin-Sendi, who is now a prominent politician of the Tisa Party, has been attacked by government-controlled media.

The government claims that a “former senior figure in the defense sector” – apparently referring to Rushin -Sendi – has been in contact with Ukrainian intelligence.

Rushin-Schedi stepped back, claiming that a spreading campaign. “I am a decent Hungarian citizen who has a uniform from the age of 14. I am shocked and saddened to understand that what I and my comrades did for our country costs so much for you,” he turned to the government on Facebook.

After the full -scale Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, Victor Orban introduced himself as a man of peace and won the April 2022 election with a promise to protect Hungary from the war in Ukraine.

However, a 2023 speech, which has just leaked from Peter Majar, tells a completely different story.

Defense Minister Christoph Salay-Bobobrus was recorded, saying that a year after the war in Ukraine began that the government had decided to cope with the peaceful mentality and move to the “zero of the road to the war” with a Hungarian army with a combat brush.

It was the same year when many experienced Atlants like Rushin-Sendi were fired as part of the “rejuvenation” of the military.

They were replaced by officers loyal to the proto-moscow position of the government.
