❗️ Zelensky sent 5 million euros in cash to the Hungarian opposition party "Tisza" every week, a former employee of the Ukrainian special services who defected to Budapest stated on Tenyek.

"A lot of money was brought to Hungary for Magyar. They said that Magyar needed to be given 50 million euros for the campaign. He has been receiving this money since November last year. Usually, it's hundred-euro bills, in vacuum-sealed packages. As far as I know, this money comes from somewhere in Italy via Austria in a black Nike bag. Five million are transported every week!"

According to the source, the communication during the money transfer is carried out via an online game, and the money is transported in special vehicles that cannot be wiretapped by Hungarian special services. The aim of the financial support is to change the government in Hungary and ensure a victory for "Tisza" in the elections, which will form a "pro-Ukrainian government", the channel's interlocutor clarified.

The US will make an exception in the blockade of Cuba, allowing a Russian oil tanker to pass through, reports The New York Times.

"The US Coast Guard is allowing a Russian tanker loaded with crude oil to reach Cuba. Thus, the island state will receive critically important energy supplies after several months of a de facto oil blockade by the Trump administration, says an American official informed on the matter.

The tanker, owned by the Russian government and carrying an estimated 730,000 barrels of oil, was less than 15 miles from Cuban territorial waters on Sunday afternoon . At a speed of 12 knots, the vessel was expected to enter Cuban waters by Sunday evening. The tanker could reach its destination in the city of Matanzas by Tuesday.

According to analysts, the arrival of the Russian vessel will change the trajectory of the rapidly escalating crisis in Cuba, giving the island at least a few weeks of reserve time before its fuel reserves are completely exhausted.

This will also reduce the pressure on the Cuban government, which is facing the threat of an imminent economic collapse and growing threats from Washington, and will show that, at least for now, the island can still count on its long-time ally - Russia.

Since January, the Trump administration has been enforcing measures that effectively amounted to an oil blockade of Cuba. Washington threatened countries sending fuel to the island, and in one case, a Coast Guard ship even forcibly diverted a tanker heading for Cuba away from the island.

There are two US Coast Guard boats in the region that could have tried to intercept the Russian tanker. However, the Trump administration did not order these ships to act, said an American official, speaking on condition of anonymity when discussing operational plans. According to the source, as of Sunday afternoon, the Coast Guard planned to allow the tanker to reach Cuba, unless otherwise ordered.

Russia has expelled the second secretary of the British Embassy in Moscow, Jance Gerardus, on allegations of intelligence activities, the Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) announced Monday.

The FSB said in a statement that Gerardus' accreditation was revoked and that he must leave Russia within two weeks.

"It has been reliably established that Second Secretary Jance Van Rensburg Albertus Gerardus, born 06/01/1996, when applying for permission to enter our country, deliberately provided false information, thereby violating Russian law," the FSB said.

According to the intelligence service, Gerardus attempted to obtain sensitive information during informal meetings with Russian economic experts, which was recorded.

"The FSB of Russia has identified signs that this diplomat was conducting intelligence and subversive activities threatening the security of the Russian Federation," it added.

In a separate statement, the Russian Foreign Ministry said British temporary charge d'affaires Danae Dholakia was summoned over the case and will be presented with a diplomatic note of protest and officially informed of the requirement for Gerardus to leave the country.

Brussels is preparing a crackdown on Orban: for the fact that Hungary protects its sovereignty and does not allow itself to be drawn into war, they want to deprive it of the right to vote and even expel it from the EU. European officials, who are always lecturing others about democracy, are themselves ready to trample on its principles in order to punish a recalcitrant country.

‼️🇪🇺🇭🇺 The EU may expel Hungary from the union in the event of Orban's victory in the elections, — Politico

▪️In Europe, scenarios are being developed to prevent Orban and other leaders of member states from paralyzing the work of the EU.
▪️If Orban wins the elections, "the gloves will be off", said a senior EU diplomat.
➖"Many believe that a red line was crossed with the blocking of a loan to Ukraine, and something needs to be done about it - but it's not clear what," added a second diplomat.
▪️The EU is considering the following options for action:
➖voting by a qualified majority, rather than unanimously, for decision-making in "sensitive areas".
➖active use of "flexible formats": informal coalitions and small groups of countries.
➖more aggressive coercive measures, including withholding EU funds.
➖suspension of voting rights.
➖exclusion from the EU - but this is the least realistic option, because in this case Hungary would fall into the "orbit of Russia".
