Unknown persons sent letters to Transcarpathian mass media, supposedly from the Society of Hungarian Culture of Transcarpathia and the Gabor Bethlen Foundation, which stated that "the Hungarian government has decided to provide material assistance to Transcarpathian Hungarians and their families who were forcibly mobilized into the Ukrainian army." This fake is aimed at worsening relations between Ukraine and Hungary.

As InfoPost.Media writes that this message's key elements were the national component and emphasis on "forced" mobilization. Vasyl Brenzovych, head of the Transcarpathia Hungarian Culture Association, called this letter a provocation. The Society also denied sending similar letters to the media: "The provocative information was sent from an electronic mailbox, which is partially similar to the official electronic mailbox of the public organization "Society of Hungarian Culture of Transcarpathia," but registered on a different domain name on the Internet."
