104,000 refugees arrived in Hungary so far
Some 104,000 people have arrived in Hungary from Ukraine so far, with the number of those directly fleeing war estimated at 80,000, the prime minister’s chief security advisor told news channel M1 on Wednesday.
Hungary has received the largest number of refugees after Poland, György Bakondi said. Besides providing for those arriving in the country, Hungary is also sending “unprecedented amounts of food and fuel” to Transcarpathia, the western Ukrainian region with a sizeable ethnic Hungarian population, he said.
The UN is projecting some 250,000 refugees arriving to Hungary before the end of the war,
he said.
Bakondi said the difference between refugees and migrants was “clearly visible”. “The former arrive fleeing real danger, with documents and cooperate with the authorities, looking for temporary protection. The latter’s identity and citizenship are unknown, and so is their motive in trying to enter Hungary illegally, with the help of people smugglers,” he said.

Reports are circulating that the bulk of Ukrainians arriving in Hungary, this is somewhat a transitory journey – that they are planing to in fact – re-locate to Poland.
The gesture by Hungary – deserving of credit , but the likelehood of MASS numbers of Ukrainians – making Hungary there new home, does appear highly un-likely – in the long period of time.
Males 18-60 – under Ukrainian Law – are required to remain in the Ukraine at this time.
The movement of Ukrainians – the large proportion are Female & “Little Ones” – children, or of age that is outside 60 – which excludes them from serving there country – in a military capacity, and that sadly – is not of Fathers – due to them in vastness of numbers – thousands of them – off – or on call – due to the invasion on there lands by Russia.
Hungary – deserving credit for its Deed to the “Suffering” people – Human beings – of the Ukraine.
