On the evening of May 9, a former Ukrainian diplomat was harshly detained in central Budapest. He is suspected of espionage, informs Telex. According to the Hungarian government's Facebook page, the National Immigration Administration banned a Ukrainian citizen from entering or staying in the country due to suspicions of espionage.

Ukraine says it has expelled two Hungarian diplomats hours after the country’s main security agency said that it had arrested two people on suspicion of spying for Hungary by gathering intelligence on Ukraine’s military in the west of the country.

Ukrainian security services claimed to have uncovered a Hungarian spy ring gathering information about military activities in Ukraine’s western Transcarpathia region.
