Hungary has announced the expulsion of two employees from the Ukrainian embassy, labeling them as spies. This information was shared by Hungary's Foreign Minister in a post on Facebook. Earlier on the same day, Ukrainian officials reported the discovery of what they described as a Hungarian espionage network operating within their borders. In response, Hungary dismissed these allegations as propaganda, according to reports from Reuters.

🔎 Fact Check

The post is accurate in stating that Hungary expelled two Ukrainian embassy staff members, labeling them as spies. However, it is misleading as it omits that Ukraine also expelled two Hungarian diplomats in a reciprocal action following mutual espionage accusations.
