Ukraine secret services attempt to influence MPs, govt staff, businessmen, parliament committee head says

Ukraine’s secret services have attempted to influence “current and former MPs, journalists, business players as well as government employees”, the head of parliament’s national security committee said in a post on Facebook on Wednesday.

Zoltán Sas, an opposition Jobbik MP, said he had received the information at the body’s meeting earlier in the day, in connection with the “Ukrainian spy scandal”.

Referring to an investigation by the Hungarian civilian secret services, he said, “The endeavours of the Ukrainian network have been revealed and the group of people they tried to influence identified.”

At the meeting, the committee members were also informed about developments in the war in Ukraine and the Middle East conflict, as well as their impact on global politics, Sas said.
