Russia is warning of retaliation after Hungary announced the expulsion of 10 Russian diplomats, triggering a fresh diplomatic clash between Moscow and a NATO member. Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said the move would have “negative consequences” for the entire spectrum of Russia-Hungary relations and warned that Budapest’s actions “will not go unanswered.” The Kremlin also said it remains open to maintaining ties with Hungary despite the latest escalation. The move comes as tensions between Russia and NATO remain high, raising questions over whether the diplomatic confrontation could trigger a wider crisis.
