As Oleg Nikolenko, a representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, said on June 19, the Foreign Ministry, the Coordinating Headquarters for Prisoners of War and other related bodies continue to try to contact and return home 11 Ukrainian prisoners of war, who were transferred to Hungary without the knowledge of Ukraine, allegedly through the Russian Orthodox channel. churches (ROC).
All attempts by Ukrainian diplomats in recent days to establish direct contact with Ukrainian citizens have failed. In fact, they are kept in isolation, do not have access to open sources of information, communication with relatives takes place in the presence of third parties, they are denied contact with the Ukrainian embassy, Nikolenko said in a statement.
He added that the Hungarian authorities are ignoring attempts by the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry to get in touch with them. The representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs believes that “such actions of Budapest cast doubt on the humanitarian motives for the export of Ukrainians to Hungary” and “can be qualified as a violation of the provisions of the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms.”
The transfer to Hungary of 11 Ukrainian prisoners of war from Transcarpathia, “who were captured during the hostilities in Ukraine,” was announced by the Deputy Prime Minister of Hungary, Zsolt Shemien, on June 9.
After that, the Hungarian attorney in Kyiv was summoned to the Foreign Ministry – the country’s government reported that the transfer of prisoners of war took place without their knowledge.
It is not yet known when the transfer of the Ukrainians actually took place. Kiev has no information about exactly where, in what condition and conditions our defenders are being held, whether they need urgent help.
