      A new twist has emerged in the case of the man dubbed a Ukrainian spy who was arrested in Budapest in May: the court has nullified his deportation order, ruling that authorities should have allowed S. Aleksandrov to leave for Russia, as he had requested.

      **Wanted to go to Russia, sent to Ukraine instead**

      S. Aleksandrov, a dual Ukrainian-Russian citizen, was apprehended on 9 May in a commando-style operation on suspicion of espionage. The Counter-Terrorism Centre (TEK) arrested him in Budapest’s Ferenciek Square, and authorities immediately deported him to Ukraine under immigration procedures, even though he wanted to go to Russia using his Russian passport, according to Blikk. Aleksandrov, who previously worked as a diplomat at the Ukrainian Embassy, had lived in Hungary for years, and his family remains in Budapest.

      **Court says authorities made a mistake**

      The court clearly stated that authorities made an error by not considering Aleksandrov’s preferred destination. The ruling states that instead of immediate deportation, officials should have allowed him to voluntarily leave the country, specifically to Russia. As a result, the deportation order has been annulled, and a new immigration procedure must now be initiated. His attorney, Dr. Gábor Szűcs, told Blikk that although the judge still views his client as a national security risk, the decision nevertheless works in Aleksandrov’s favour.

      **Born in Crimea, holds Russian passport**

      The Immigration Office said Aleksandrov previously listed Ukraine as his home country in his residence application and named it a safe third country. However, his attorney argued that the form used did not allow for multiple nationalities to be indicated. Aleksandrov is originally from Crimea, a region treated as Russian territory by Moscow since the occupation. This gives him the right to Russian citizenship, which, according to his lawyer, he intended to exercise upon deportation.

      The article is contradictory. First is states:

      > **Born in Crimea, holds Russian passport**

      Then it states he only plans to exercise his right to join ruzzia, implying he does not have the citizenship, yet:
      > Aleksandrov is originally from Crimea, a region treated as Russian territory by Moscow since the occupation. This gives him the right to Russian citizenship, which, according to his lawyer, he intended to exercise upon deportation.

      So what is the truth?

      So they arrested a presumptive Ukrainian spy whose cover was as a UKR diplomat and deported him immediately to Ukraine, only to find he really wanted to go to Russia? Sounds like a double agent…
