Ukraine's Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that Ukrainian prisoners of war transferred to Hungary from Russia are being held in conditions that do not allow them to be considered free, including isolation, lack of access to information, and denied contact with Ukraine's Embassy.

Ukrainian POWs transferred to Hungary are held in isolation, without access to open sources of information, communicate with families in the presence of other individuals, and are denied contact with the Embassy of Ukraine

Attempts by Ukrainian diplomats to establish direct contact with Ukrainian citizens have been unsuccessful

Hungarian authorities' assurances regarding the alleged free status of Ukrainian defenders in Hungary do not correspond to reality

Ukraine says Hungarian officials are barring access to 11 Ukrainian POWs transferred from Russia to Budapest
