"On Saturday evening, the water will rise by half a metre. And it is very unfortunate that in such a flood there are victims and people who have died. But I think that the authorities of the Czech Republic, Poland, Hungary, Romania and Ukraine will cope with this event, with this trouble, with this cyclone (Storm) Boris. We will come home and everything will be fine. Peace will come to Ukraine."

STORYLINE:
Flood waters in Hungary continued to rise Friday as authorities closed roads and rail stations, and ferry services along the Danube River halted.
In the capital, Budapest, water spilled over the city’s lower quays and threatened to reach tram and metro lines. Some transport services were suspended.
Further upriver, in a region known as the Danube Bend, homes and restaurants near the riverbanks were inundated.
Nearly 6,000 professionals, including members of Hungary’s water authority and military, were mobilised, and prison inmates were involved in filling sandbags, Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said at a news conference Thursday.
The Danube stood at over 771 centimetres (25 feet), approaching the 891-centimetre (29.2 feet) record set during major flooding in 2013.
