"Secret Operation": The Russians handed over to Hungary prisoners of Ukrainians in the interests of Orban - the Foreign Ministry

Minister Dmytro Kuleba said that the Hungarians and "players" from another unnamed country had turned a "secret operation" to support the image of the Hungarian Prime Minister as the "sole defender" of their people. Prime Minister Viktor Orban was personally interested in the export of 11 prisoners of defenders from the Russian Federation in Hungary. On June 19, the Minister of Foreign Affairs Dmytro Kuleba declared it on the air of the telephone on June 19.

"We are told that those people are free to do what they want. In fact it is not. They are under control, and even meetings with relatives here are extremely metered. Consul, ambassadors do not let them in spite of our persistent demands. All the levers to access our citizens and return them home, "he cheered. The Foreign Minister added that Ukraine is now maintaining communication with his relatives and relatives of prisoners of war.

He called the export of defenders from the aggressor country "secret operation", which was attended by "other players, not only from Hungary. " "There was one simple goal: Victor Orban had to show the Hungarians in Hungary and outside Hungary that he was their only defender. All this operation was implemented in the political interests of one person," Kuleba emphasized.

We will remind, on June 9 a spokesman of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Oleg Nikolenko reported that the Russian Orthodox Church handed over to Hungary eleven captured Ukrainians of Hungarian origin. He assured that the Government of Ukraine was not informed of the relevant negotiations between the countries. Later, on June 19, Nikolenko wrote that Ukraine's attempts to establish direct contact with the captured defenders were unsuccessful.
