Vucic informed Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban about the explosives, which included detonators. Following a crisis meeting, Orban suggested that Ukraine may be behind a potential sabotage act, a claim that Ukraine has denied. Instead, Ukrainian officials suspect a Russian false flag operation. Hungarian security experts have raised concerns that this incident could be a staged event aimed at influencing the upcoming parliamentary elections, where Orban trails his opponent, Magyar. The elections are scheduled for next Sunday.
