Hungarian cities, villages in Transcarpathia to be under curfew because of suspected Russian attacks!

Local authorities are to introduce a curfew from today evening until tomorrow morning because of suspected missile attacks by the invading Russian forces. More than 150 thousand Hungarians live in Ukraine, most of them concentrated near the Hungarian border. Many fled when the Russian invasion began, but most returned home since the agricultural works started.
The Orthodox Church celebrates Easter this Sunday, and Ukrainian authorities suspect Russian attacks even during the religious holiday. Therefore, they introduced a curfew in Transcarpathia, the first since the Russian invasion began on February 24.
The curfew will be in effect between 11 pm Saturday and 5 am Sunday,
The new measure was introduced by the defence council of Transcarpathia, the Ukrainian county near the Hungarian border. Viktor Mikita, the head of the local public administration, said that Ukrainian intelligence suspected provocations and missile attacks everywhere in Ukraine on Easter evening. The possible targets include even churches, they said. There might be many casualties, they added.Â
“The aim of the enemy is to create panic and destabilise the situation,”
Ukrainian authorities highlighted.
Mr Mikita said that the traditional food consecration would be held in every region of Ukraine on April 24 from 5 am. However, he asked everybody to go to the churches only after the end of the curfew.Â
That is the first time the authorities introduced a curfew in Transcarpathia since the beginning of the war. Air alerts became regular in the last few weeks. However,
Transcarpathia has not suffered any physical attacks since February 24.
The region is a bridge between the West and Ukraine. Its neighbours are Romania, Hungary, Slovakia, and Poland.Â
