There is more and more talk about refugees from Ukraine who have Hungarian passports in addition to Ukrainian citizenship. Politicians talk about these refugees mainly in connection with the Roma fleeing the Russian aggression in Ukraine. The South Moravian Governor Jan Grolich from KDU-ČSL was the first to mention “Hungarian Ukrainians” without any knowledge and context and to to accuse them to abuse social benefits in the Czech Republic. The mayor of the capital city of Prague, Zdeněk Hřib, also justifies the Hungarian citizenship not to register them.

As said, the Orban government granted many residents of Transcarpathian Ukraine the Hungarian cisitzenship.
