According to 444.hu, Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjártó responded to media questions about a statement from Ukraine’s Security Service (SBU), which claimed to have uncovered a Hungarian military intelligence spy network operating in the Zakarpattia region, near the Hungarian border.

"We can only comment once we receive any details or official information. Until then, this should be regarded as propaganda and treated with caution," Szijjártó said.

He also noted, "It is clear that anti-Hungarian propaganda is often used in Ukraine. Anti-Hungarian propaganda that in many cases has turned out to be completely unfounded."

For the first time in Ukraine’s history, the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) uncovered a Hungarian military intelligence network that was spying against Ukraine.
