The press secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Oleg Nikolenko reported this on Facebook.
On Friday, June 9, Hungary’s Charge d’Affaires was invited to the Foreign Ministry for a substantive discussion. Kyiv turned to Budapest for detailed information about the citizens and permission for the consul to access them.
During the meeting, they especially emphasized the need to coordinate interaction on such sensitive issues as the release of prisoners of war, Nikolenko emphasized and added that the release of Ukrainian prisoners of war is always good news.
