Another conversation between Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and his Hungarian counterpart, Peter Szijjarto, has recently been revealed. On July 2, 2024, during this conversation they discussed the issue of Ukraine's membership in the European Union.
Leaked documents show that Hungary was providing the Kremlin with internal EU information, including specific wording related to the status and rights of national minorities in Ukraine.
According to leaked materials, Szijjarto appears to have practically helped Russia find a pretext to obstruct Ukraine’s accession negotiations. He used accusations of “discrimination against national minorities in Ukraine” as an excuse, exploiting the issue as a political tool to block Ukraine’s integration process into the European Union.

This revelation shows a high level of coordination between several officials, where internal EU information was used for geopolitical interests, including direct Russian interference in the internal affairs of the union and candidate countries.
Recordings of conversations between Sergey Lavrov and Péter Szijjártó suggest that the Hungarian minister was willing to advance Moscow’s interests within the EU. In one of them, Lavrov calls for sanctions against the sister of oligarch Alisher Usmanov to be lifted, Szijjártó replies that Hungary, together with Slovakia, is already preparing a proposal. She was later removed from the EU sanctions list. Before ending the call, Szijjártó also mentioned a visit to Gazprom’s new headquarters and added: “I am always at your service.”
According to European intelligence officials, the tone of the exchanges resembled that of a “dealer and source” rather than two equal officials. There have also been previous reports that Hungary has shared details of closed EU discussions with Moscow.

The European Union's response
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen plans to raise the issue of Hungary's alleged practice of leaking information to Russia at the highest level of the European Union's leadership, following new revelations, her spokesman announced.
The spokesperson stressed that the allegations "highlight the alarming possibility of a member state government coordinating with Russia, thereby actively working against the security and interests of the EU and its citizens."
He added that this is "extremely worrying" and requires urgent explanations from the Hungarian government.
The incident comes as Hungary prepares for elections on April 12, with incumbent Prime Minister Viktor Orban two-thirds behind in opinion polls, making the situation even more politically sensitive.
