Russian intelligence SVR claims EU planning to overthrow Hungarian PM

Brussels/Moscow, Aug 14 (UNI) The Russian Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) has claimed that the European Union is planning to overthrow Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, due to his closeness to Moscow and distancing himself from much of the EU’s policies, reports RT.
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen “is seriously studying regime change scenarios” in Hungary, the SVR press service said in a statement on Wednesday.
Orban has repeatedly clashed with Brussels on numerous occasions, refusing Kyiv military aid, ridiculing the bloc’s move for militarisation, and denouncing any potential move for Ukraine’s integration into the EU, calling the move ‘disastrous.’
