Nobody seeking refuge in Hungary is being turned away at the border, the police added.

Arrivals from Ukraine who aren’t being assisted by family or friends, or who have nowhere to go for material reasons, are being accompanied to shelters where they are getting accommodations and food, police.hu said.

Hungary’s National Directorate-General for Aliens Policing has registered ten applications, so far, for refugee status since the start of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, the authority told MTI early Sunday.

The authority added that applications for refugee status may be submitted in person at any collection centre 24 hours a day, or at offices of the National Directorate-General for Aliens Policing during opening hours.

Applicants for refugee status are ensured accommodations and food, the authority said.

    Dear Sir
    The EU and NATO should have NEVER allowed for this escalation in the Ukraine. The Ukraine have managed to push the narrative and have dragged everyone into its quarrel with the Russians. The US and the EU will now be pumping in 100’s of millions and forcing her membership into the EU and NATO….This will not have a happy ending for ALL of us and probably end up in an Armageddon. If NOT ,it will be interesting to see how various Economies will collapse in Europe and living standards CRASH causing other Civil strife!

    Well come home Hungarians living under the repressive regime of the Ukraine. Ukrainian refugees should also be welcomed and cared for. The elder population of Hungary know what life is like under war conditions.
