Jozsef Horvath, director of the Sovereignty Protection Research Institute, stated that the espionage scandal in Transcarpathia is a politically ordered operation by Ukrainian intelligence. He emphasized that the release of footage of alleged Hungarian spies was intentional and aimed at creating a narrative of Hungary preparing for war against Ukraine. The relationship between Ukrainian and Hungarian intelligence has deteriorated, making cooperation unlikely. Horvath noted that such operations are routine in intelligence but are typically hidden from the public. Teljes cikk (Magyarnemzet)
