Leaders of Hungarian cities and Budapest districts have publicly urged support for Ukrainian communities before winter sets in, Ukrainian outlet Ukrainska Pravda reported on 21 October. Russia's full-scale war against Ukraine is continuing, which makes help for local communities during the cold season especially relevant.

According to the report, the appeal came from the heads of seven Hungarian cities and districts of Budapest. The article's headline refers to 11 mayors of cities and districts; the source does not explain how that number divides between cities and Budapest districts.

The authors of the appeal also invited other Hungarian local governments to join, so that support for Ukrainian communities could come from a wider group of municipalities.

The source does not say what specific assistance is planned, which Ukrainian communities would receive it, or how it would be organised. It also does not name the individual mayors or the cities involved.
