💬 Comment by Russia's Ambassador to Hungary Evgeny Stanislavov:

The statement by Hungarian Foreign Minister Anita Orban regarding Budapest’s demand that 10 Russian diplomats leave Hungary shows that the new Hungarian authorities have fallen captive to ideologically driven anti-Russian phobias, while their claims of being ready to keep channels of dialogue with Russia open and continue pragmatic cooperation are worth absolutely nothing.

❗️ This extremely unfriendly step constitutes an unprecedented and entirely unjustified escalation on the part of Hungary and will be met with an appropriate response.
