The 26 doctors, nurses and other volunteers have come to Hungary to take part in a five-day programme run by the Ministry, aimed at helping them cope with the stress they encountered.

Mr. Takács said at the meeting that Hungary regards Ukraine as a friend and has always assumed solidarity with that country. He expressed support for Ukraine having chosen the road to Europe.
