The media team has an extract from a conversation between the author and the alleged Ukrainian who ordered the attack.

The probable perpetrator is a Ukrainian refugee from Ternopil who has been living in Hungary for two years.

According to the source, after the failed assassination attempt, a direct telephone conversation took place between the Hungarian and Ukrainian secret services, during which the Ukrainian side categorically rejected all the accusations made against them.
