Peskov promised an adequate response to the expulsion of Russian diplomats from Hungary

Hungary's decision to expel Russian diplomats will not go unanswered by Moscow. This was stated by the press secretary of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov, RIA Novosti reports.

“As for this particular decision, (...) of course, an adequate response will be given to it. These actions will not go unanswered,” said a Kremlin official.

Peskov noted that Russia remains open to developing ties with Hungary and does not seek to damage the valuable experience of bilateral relations. However, according to him, such unfriendly steps cannot but have negative consequences.

Earlier, Hungarian Foreign Minister Anita Orban reported that Budapest had decided to expel ten Russian diplomats. According to her, the expelled employees of the Russian Embassy allegedly carried out activities in Hungary that “are unacceptable for diplomats in accordance with the Vienna Convention.”

At the same time, Orban emphasized that the measures taken do not mean a severance of diplomatic relations with Russia.
