Hungary Presses Invasion Into Carpatho Ukraine
Budapest reports Hungary refused to halt its invasion of Carpatho Ukraine despite a conciliatory reply from Premier Au Bustia Volesin. An ultimatum was issued with 15 minutes left before expiration demanding surrender to Hungary's forces. Volesin sent a message to halt the invasion. Hungarian foreign minister Csaky cited technical reasons for not expressing the advance, and bloodshed was to be avoided. Carpatho Ukraine occupied as Hungarian troops moved toward the Polish border. Prague was also asked to withdraw Czech troops from the eastern sector, a demand deemed unsatisfactory.
