Viktor Orban accused of using Ukraine spy row in fight for political survival.

Ukraine 's SBU security service announced the arrest of two Ukrainian citizens accused of spying for Hungary .

Hungary then expelled two Ukrainian diplomats and Ukraine followed suit in a tit-for-tat response.

At the heart of row are accusations that Orban 's Fidesz government is using spat to fight his main political rival.

Defence Minister Kristof Szalay-Bobrovniczky was recorded saying a year after the war in Ukraine began that the government had decided to move to "phase zero of the road to war", with a combat-read Hungarian army.

This was the same year that experienced Atlanticists such as Ruszin-Szendi were sacked as part of a "rejuvenation" of the military.
