The Russian Federation transferred to Budapest 11 Ukrainian prisoners: the Hungarian attorney was called "on the carpet" in the Foreign Ministry

According to Oleg Nikolenko, the release of prisoners is always good news, but the Government of Ukraine is puzzled by the fact that he was not informed about the negotiation process. In the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine today, a Hungarian attorney was summoned because the Russian Orthodox Church had transferred to Hungary a group of Ukrainian prisoners of war of Hungarian origin from Transcarpathia. On Friday, June 9, the Foreign Minister Oleg Nikolenko reports on his Facebook.

According to Nikolenko, news about the release of Ukrainian prisoners of war is always good news, as Ukraine and international partners are actively working to return Ukrainian defenders home. "At the same time, the Ukrainian government was not informed of the relevant negotiations between the Hungarian and Russian sides. From public statements, the Vice Prime Minister of Hungary has learned that Russia had handed over to Budapest eleven Ukrainians of Hungarian origin," Nikolenko said.

The Ukrainian side has invited information about the liberated Ukrainians to provide them with all the necessary assistance as soon as possible, as well as to provide access to the Ukrainian Consul, which would give their needs to the Foreign Ministry. We will remind, on May 6, another exchange of prisoners took place, during which 42 more defenders and 3 defenders of "Azovstal" returned home.
