A newly leaked recording indicates that former Hungarian Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó offered assistance to Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov during the Wagner Group’s attempted mutiny in June 2023. The recording suggests a close and unusual relationship between the two diplomats. Details of the offered assistance are currently unclear, but the call occurred while Wagner forces were advancing towards Moscow. This revelation follows a previous leak of a phone conversation between Szijjártó and Lavrov around the same time. The Hungarian government has not yet officially commented on the authenticity or content of the latest recording. The leak raises questions about Hungary’s position regarding the Wagner rebellion and its relationship with Russia during a period of significant geopolitical instability.
