Ombudsman: Hungary's transfer of Ukrainian POWs violates international law

Ombudsman Dmytro Lubinets said that Budapest's transfer of 11 Ukrainian prisoners of war (POWs) from Russia to Hungary without Ukraine's knowledge violates international law, Liga.net said on June 21, citing a televised interview.

He said that, while Ukraine welcomes all peace initiatives by its partners, Hungary's decision not to involve Kyiv constitutes a breach of international humanitarian law and the Geneva Convention.

"It was surprising for us that a member of NATO and the EU could do such a thing. I turned to Hungary's ombudsman to examine the conditions of the (POWs') detention, but received no answer," Lubinets said on TV.

According to the ombudsman, Budapest played along with Russian propaganda from the start.

1. Hungary's leaders are bad apples ..........................

Sweden would be an acceptable replacement for NATO over Hungary.

2. Did Hungary learn nothing from World War II?

Fascist autocrats like Hitler and Putin are dangerous even to those who cooperate with them.
