Donald Tusk says Hungary has shared information with Moscow
Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk responded over the weekend to media reports suggesting that Hungary has been regularly informing Russia about discussions held at European Union summits. The Polish head of government stated that this information did not come as a surprise, as the Hungarian government's position regarding the Russo-Ukrainian war has long been known to its European partners.
The allegations are based on a recently published media report claiming that Budapest has been passing confidential information to Moscow regarding EU decision-making processes. According to the report, these leaks could hinder the European Union's unified response to Russian aggression.
Donald Tusk emphasized that this type of cooperation with Russia raises serious concerns from the perspective of European security policy. According to the Polish Prime Minister, the European Union must remain united, and trust between member states is essential for achieving common goals.
So far, there has been no official denial or detailed reaction from Hungary regarding the allegations. The Hungarian government has previously emphasized several times that it represents its own national interests within the European Union and that its goal is to seek peaceful solutions to conflicts.
The matter is expected to further increase tensions between Budapest and the other member states of the European Union. The international community and EU institutions are now focused on how this situation will impact future diplomatic negotiations and European unity.
