In 2022 during the [[Russo-Ukrainian War]], the [[Hungarian language]] is reported to be used by the [[Armed Forces of Ukraine|Ukrainian army]] to relay operational military information and orders to circumvent being understood by the invading [[Russian Armed Forces|Russian army]] without the need to encrypt and decipher the messages.<ref>{{cite web |title=Kárpátaljai navajók: úgy használja az ukrán hadsereg a magyarul beszélő katonáinak szuperképességét, mint az amerikaiak a legendás kódbeszélők nyelvtudását (Subcarpathian Navajos: the Ukrainian army uses the superpowers of its Hungarian-speaking soldiers in the same way that the Americans use the language skills of the legendary code talkers) |url=https://444.hu/2022/08/10/karpataljai-navajok-ugy-hasznalja-az-ukran-hadsereg-a-magyarul-beszelo-katonainak-szuperkepesseget-mint-az-amerikaiak-a-legendas-kodbeszelok-nyelvtudasat |website=444.hu |language=hu |access-date=August 8, 2022}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Угорська мова - найкраща для шифрування на війні (Hungarian is the best for encryption in war) |url=https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=769163944273042 |website=www.facebook.com |language=hu |access-date=August 8, 2022}}</ref>
Ukraine has a sizeable [[Hungarians in Ukraine|Hungarian population]] of over 150,000 people who live mainly in the [[Zakarpattia Oblast|Kárpátalja (in Hungarian) or Zakarpatska Oblast (in Ukrainian) division]] of Ukraine, adjacent to [[Hungary]]. As Ukrainian nationals, men of enlistment age are also subject to military service, hence the [[Ukrainian Ground Forces|Ukrainian army]] has a Hungarian-speaking capability. It is one of the most spoken and official languages of this [[Administrative divisions of Ukraine|region in present-day Ukraine]]. The [[Hungarian language]] is not an [[Indo-European languages|Indo-European language]] like the [[Slavic language|Slavic]] [[Ukrainian language|Ukrainian]] or [[Russian language|Russian]], but a [[Uralic languages|Uralic language]]. For this reason, it is distinct and incomprehensible for Russian speakers.{{cn|date=March 2025}}
