PM Orban recently posted news about the event on his Facebook page, stating that he had visited Csaba and Albert, two Hungarians from Transcarpathia who had been freed from captivity. They had been victims of forced conscription in Ukraine and sent to the front, where they were taken prisoner by the Russians.

During the meeting, he spoke warmly with Albert and Csaba and asked about their condition after regaining their freedom. PM Orban assured the two Transcarpathian Hungarians that they are now safe and that no one will be able to take them away again.

No one can touch you, no one can take you anywhere. You are free men—you are free to do whatever you please,

the prime minister said.
