On Friday, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that reconnaissance drones had breached Ukrainian airspace, based on an initial military assessment indicating that they had flown from Hungary to survey the industrial capacity of areas along Ukraine’s western border.
A Hungarian government spokesperson did not immediately provide a response to the request for comment.
Hungary, a member of both the European Union and NATO, is an ally of Kyiv in the context of the ongoing conflict with Russia. However, the relationship between Kyiv and Budapest has often been tense.
"I have instructed that all available information be verified and that urgent reports be made on each recorded incident," Zelenskyy said in a Telegram post after meeting with Ukraine's top military leadership.

Ukraine is home to around 150,000 ethnic Hungarians, mostly in the Transcarpathia region, which borders Hungary. The Hungarian government and Kyiv have frequently clashed over issues related to the community's language rights.
