Traffic Heavy at Hungarian Ukrainian Border

The Russian invasion of Ukraine quickly gave rise to long lines of cars leading to the Hungarian border, as well as crowded scenes at railway stations, HVG reports.

Many of those fleeing are young men who want to avoid being drafted, the weekly adds.

Petrol stations were overwhelmed as Ukrainians looked to secure fuel for the road and there were long queues at banks and bank machines.

Police said all five Hungarian-Ukrainian border crossings were congested so there was a considerable waiting time.

Drivers had to wait for one hour at the two largest crossings, Záhony-Csap and Beregsurány-Asztély, and two hours at the Tisza¬becs-Tiszaújlak crossing.
