A group of investigative journalists on Tuesday released a recording of a phone call between Hungarian Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó and his Russian counterpart, Sergey Lavrov, in which Szijjártó offered to assist in removing a Russian oligarch’s sister from EU sanctions at Lavrov’s request.
In the 94-second recording published on YouTube and disclosed by the investigative outlet Insider, Lavrov asked Szijjártó to help remove Gulbahor Ismailova — the sister of Russian oligarch Alisher Usmanov — from the EU's sanctions list.
