32 Ukrainians detained for illegally crossing into Hungary in fake military truck

On June 9, a GAZ-66 truck bearing military license plates illegally crossed the Ukrainian-Hungarian border in the Transcarpathia region, known for its Hungarian population. Hungarian police later detained 32 Ukrainian citizens near the village of Barabás, Hungary. An investigation into the incident is currently underway.

Local Ukrainian journalist Vitaliy Glagola first reported the incident, sharing a photo of the truck as it crossed the border.

The Ukrainian Border Guard Service clarified that the truck did not belong to the armed forces, suggesting that the license plates were likely fake. Several individuals suspected of involvement in the incident were also detained.

The illegal transportation of draft-age men out of Ukraine is a growing issue, as martial law currently prohibits them from leaving the country. Thousands are attempting to escape to Hungary, Romania, and Moldova. Romanian police reports indicate that since February 2022, over 11,000 people have crossed illegally from Ukraine. Many of these attempts involve crossing the Tisza River by swimming, a perilous endeavor that has resulted in at least 24 drownings.

  1. As much as this incident may be of interest I would like to see Daily News Hungary report on something more important now which is the Hungarian governments refusal to attend the Bucharest Nine summit in Riga for the first time since the nine NATO front-line countries started meeting in 2015. Now of all possible times when the Russians have invaded Ukraine and Russia poses an existential threat to all front-line countries President Sulyok declines to attend. Why? It’s because Hungary is now a Russian vassal and cannot attend a meeting where the agenda is protection from Russia. This is so incredibly obvious.

  2. Que a Hungria não seja pisada pela bota Russa… É só lembrar o Rio Danúbio congelado com corpos de húngaros que serviram de alvo para os Russos postados nas margens, ainda sob domínio soviético. DEUS ABENÇOE A HUNGRIA, e que seus governantes saibam de que lado esta a HONESTIDADE dos atos que seja do interesse do POVO e não de PUTIN. .
