The new allegations escalate a diplomatic row sparked by mutual espionage accusations between Kyiv and Budapest.
Ukraine's Security Service (SBU) claimed on May 9 that it had exposed a Hungarian espionage network in western Ukraine, detaining two agents. In response, Hungary expelled two Ukrainian diplomats, a move met with reciprocal expulsions by Kyiv.
Kovacs said that Hungary's Fidesz party identified the individuals as Roland Tseber and Istvan Hollo.
