> Hungary has ordered 10 Russian diplomats to leave Budapest over what it calls “unacceptable” activities. Foreign Minister Anita Orbán said the move protects Hungary’s security and sovereignty but does not mean diplomatic ties are being severed. Moscow warned of a “harsh and painful” response as relations shift away from the previous pro-Kremlin stance.
