Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk comments on reports that Hungarian authorities had been informing Russia about details of negotiations at European Council meetings, saying such information is not surprising, UATV English<\/a> reports.<\/p>\n

He wrote on\u00a0social network X<\/a>\u00a0that he had long suspected this, adding that because of it he filtered what he said during EU meetings.<\/p>\n

“The news that Orban’s people inform Moscow about EU Council meetings in every detail shouldn\u2019t come as a surprise to anyone. We\u2019ve had our suspicions about that for a long time. That’s one reason why I take the floor only when strictly necessary and say just as much as necessary,” Tusk said.<\/p>\n

As reported, The Washington Post<\/a>, citing current and former European officials, wrote that Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto regularly informed his Russian counterpart Sergey Lavrov about plans and outcomes of EU meetings.<\/p>\n

Earlier, it was also reported that Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service had allegedly\u00a0proposed staging an assassination attempt on Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orb\u00e1n\u00a0amid declining public support ahead of parliamentary elections in the country.<\/p>\n
