Hungarians In Ukraine Leave For Hungary On False Fears
Reports of thousands of Hungarians are crossing over into Hungary from Transcarpathia, in western Ukraine, are incorrect, the Hungarian foreign ministry’s state secretary told public television.

However, a few hundred young Hungarians have set off from Vynohradiv (Nagyszőlős) on false rumours that there was a general mobilisation in Ukraine, Zsolt Németh told public television.

In fact Ukraine has put its army on stand-by, and Hungarians with Ukrainian citizenship need not be concerned about being drafted to the army, he said. Border crossing activity was normal on Sunday along the Ukrainian border section, police said today.
