Occupation of Ukrainian cross-border regions

10 years ago

I'm afraid to take along my kids to their father to Hungary. We live in a village near Chop city, Zakarpattia province, Western Ukraine. Now all roads to big cities have been blocked by armed men. We don't know where they've come from. They speak neither Carpathian Ukrainian nor Hungarian. So we cannot understand who they are and whom they obey. The only thing we understood is that no Hungarian should go to another place without special permission from Ukrainian administration.
The majority of people in our village are Hungarians. We have no Ukrainian administration but leader of our community. His signature is no suit. Seems that we occurred in some kind of ghetto for Hungarians. Everything is done by camp routine: curfew, and time to buy food once a week, and two hours a day for Internet connection, and hours for electric power supply and for cold and hot water.
My ex lives in Hungary. He sent us invitation at once. But I doubt it could be applied without special visa or seal. Help us to leave this cursed place! Ukrainian authorities don't care about non-Ukrainians. And there is no hope for the world community support us. Anyway didn't hear about help from international organizations at all and would be glad to any. Yet want to protect my kids from this nationalist pest.
