The situation on the Ukrainian-Hungarian border remains stable, with no unusual incidents observed.

This was Ukraine’s Mukachevo Border Detachment response to Ukrinform when asked to comment on a video circulating online that allegedly shows Hungarian armored vehicles moving near the border.

"The situation directly at the border has not changed; no unusual activity has been observed," the detachment’s press service stated.

Overnight into May 13, Russian media and Telegram channels began spreading videos claiming to show Hungarian military vehicles moving through Hungarian border towns such as Záhony, Beregsurány, Tiszabecs, Barabás, and Nagyhódos, all located near checkpoints along the Ukrainian-Hungarian frontier.
