Hungary limits state support for Ukrainian refugees to those from conflict-affected regions.

Hungary has enacted a new law limiting state support for Ukrainian refugees, potentially affecting thousands of them. The law only offers aid to refugees from regions directly impacted by the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. The Hungarian government plans to update the list of affected regions monthly. Currently, around 31,000 Ukrainian refugees are in Hungary, and it is unclear how many will be impacted by this regulation. Human rights groups warn that vulnerable refugees, particularly the Roma ethnic minority from the Transcarpathian region, are at risk of being displaced.
