​An investigation ​into possible leaks ‌by Hungary ​of EU information to Russia has ‌not identified any serious security breach so far, a spokesperson for the European ‌Commission said on Friday.

"The relevant ‌Commission services have now finalised the investigation and on this basis the Commission ⁠has ​concluded that ⁠no serious security breach could be ⁠identified in relation to the allegations appearing ​in the media," the spokesperson said.

Investigative ⁠news outlets released leaked phone calls earlier ⁠this ​year that purported to show how Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor ⁠Orban's government has worked to serve ⁠Russian interests ⁠and undermine EU efforts to aid Ukraine.
