VSquare

VSquare is a consortium of Eastern European media outlets. They are newsworthy due to their recent publication of leaked telephone conversations between Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto and Russian counterparts. These leaks allegedly reveal that Szijjarto, a close ally of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, provided Moscow with direct information, indicating a close relationship and potential influence of Moscow on Budapest's foreign policy. The timing of the publication, just prior to crucial Hungarian legislative elections, has heightened tensions between Orban's government and European entities. The Hungarian Foreign Ministry has denounced the leaks as foreign interference in the election. VSquare's actions are significant as they raise questions about Hungary's alignment with Russia and its commitment to European Union solidarity, particularly in the context of ongoing geopolitical tensions.
