“On June 8, 2023, with the blessing of His Holiness Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Rus’, with the mediation of the Russian Orthodox Church, as part of inter-church cooperation, at the request of the Hungarian side, a group of Ukrainian prisoners of war of Transcarpathian origin who participated in the hostilities was transferred to Hungary,” the report says.
