Militarnyi reports that Russia and Hungary jointly launched a disinformation campaign to justify future Russian drone strikes on targets in Romania and Poland. On 27 September, pro‑government Hungarian outlet Pesti Srácok published an editorial accusing Ukraine of preparing a false‑flag operation using repaired Russian drones against NATO countries. Within hours, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova echoed the same claims, alleging that Ukraine sought to create a Casus belli for war between Russia and NATO.

Over the past month, Russia has escalated its military provocations against NATO member states. Russian drones repeatedly violated the airspace of Poland and Romania, while Russian fighter jets entered the airspace of the Baltic countries. In parallel, suspected Russian drones were activated en masse near Scandinavian airports, prompting temporary flight suspensions. These developments unfold against the backdrop of the ongoing Russo-Ukrainian war, during which Hungary continues to side with Russia and actively opposes Ukraine and pro-Ukrainian initiatives within the European Union.

Militarnyi says that the editorial on Pesti Srácok — which is controlled by Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán’s party — cited “wind of strange news” from Telegram to allege that the Security Service of Ukraine was ostensibly preparing a plan to discredit Russia. The article claimed that Ukrainian special services together with the Armed Forces of Ukraine planned to strike major logistics hubs in Romania and Poland that are used to transport weapons to Ukraine. It stated that these attacks would use Russian‑made drones launched from western Ukraine and would then be blamed on Moscow through a coordinated information campaign in Ukrainian and foreign media.
