Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk stated that Lithuania had warned several years ago that Hungarian officials posed a security threat within NATO.<\/p>\n

He made the remarks while speaking to the media ahead of a government meeting, Reuters<\/a> reports, according to UATV English.<\/a><\/p>\n

The Polish prime minister noted that information had been coming \u201cfrom various sources over a long period of time\u201d regarding the leakage of data from closed EU meetings to Moscow, along with suspicions that information from NATO had also been transmitted.<\/p>\n

\u201cBack in 2019, Lithuania demanded the exclusion of the Hungarian delegation from NATO meetings, stating that there were suspicions that the Hungarian delegation would pass top-secret information to Moscow,\u201d Tusk said.<\/p>\n

Tusk\u2019s comments come after The Washington Post<\/a><\/em> previously reported that Hungarian Foreign Minister P\u00e9ter Szijj\u00e1rt\u00f3 had regularly provided Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov with \u201clive reports\u201d on discussions held during EU meetings, including information on potential decisions.<\/p>\n

Szijj\u00e1rt\u00f3 later confirmed that he maintains regular contact with Lavrov during closed EU meetings.<\/p>\n

Media reports have also indicated that the European Union has excluded Hungary from sensitive negotiations due to concerns over potential leaks to Russia.<\/p>\n
