Passenger rail services between Hungary and Austria and between Hungary and Ukraine have been suspended, Hungarian rail company MÁV said on Tuesday.

Austria’s OBB has suspended passenger rail services to Hungary via Szentgotthárd, in southwestern Hungary.

The Ukrainian border crossing for trains at Záhony-Chop (Csap) has also been closed, Mavinform said.

MÁV is offering a total refund for all international tickets, regardless of destination, the website said.
