Hungary Accuses Ukraine of Disinformation Campaign

Hungary's Defence Secretary Alleges Ukrainian Disinformation Campaign. Budapest – In a press conference today, Hungarian State Secretary for Defence Bartel-Ruzsa presented evidence of what he claims is a Ukrainian intelligence operation targeting Hungary. The operation, he alleges, involves a smear campaign and the spread of disinformation, with the assistance of an opposition party. \"We have irrefutable evidence, obtained from NATO and EU sources, showing that former Chief of Defence Staff Ruszin-Szendi Romulusz has maintained close ties with Ukraine and consistently promoted a pro-Ukrainian stance,\" Bartel-Ruzsa stated. This information was discussed today by the Hungarian Parliament's Defence and Law Enforcement Committee. Bartel-Ruzsa's statements have raised significant concerns about the potential for escalation of the conflict and underscore Hungary's call for an immediate ceasefire and peace negotiations. The Ukrainian government has yet to respond to these allegations.
