Transcarpathia annexed to Hungary? Map revealed by Russian Security Chairman
Change language:
In his address, the Deputy Chairman underscored the notion that Ukraine’s separation from Russia should be reconsidered. However, the focus shifted from his words to the map displayed behind him, depicting most of Ukraine as Russian territory, with Transcarpathia appearing as part of Hungary.

The redrawn map implied Poland gaining north-western Ukraine, Romania acquiring territory in northern Moldova and Ukraine retaining only the Kyiv province. Medvedev also asserted that a peace agreement would remain elusive until Ukraine had new leadership and recognized Russian-occupied territories.
Furthermore, Medvedev noted that relations between Moscow and Washington were at their lowest ebb since the Cuban missile crisis of 1962, as reported by Reuters. The former Russian president has consistently argued that Ukraine is an artificial nation and will never be recognised as legitimate by Russia. In 2022, Medvedev had previously proposed a vision where Poland and Hungary would reclaim portions of what he termed the “former Ukraine.”
Earlier this year, Hungarian PM Viktor Orbán, in an interview with Die Presse, emphasised the geopolitical reality of Ukraine’s fixed territorial boundaries, regardless of preferences. He advocated for the establishment of a buffer zone between Russia and the West, supported by strong security guarantees. The Prime Minister warned:
All that I hope for Hungary as a guy who is part Hungarian, for Hungary not to either be disrupt the rest of Eastern Europe or, gets demolished by a potential Russian invasion. God bless Hungary.
