Medvedev’s shocking new map of Ukraine: Hungary could share a border with Russia!
Dmitry Medvedev, the former President of Russia and now Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council, has once again published a provocative map depicting new Hungarian borders. According to the map, nearly the entire territory of Ukraine is envisioned as a so-called ‘buffer zone’ directly bordering Hungary and Romania.
According to Portfolio, the concept suggests that only a small portion of Ukraine would remain, situated adjacent to the Polish border.
Medvedev justified this proposal by claiming that continued military support for the Bandera regime (referring to the Ukrainian leadership) necessitated the establishment of such a security zone. This aligns with a previously expressed idea — frequently promoted by Russia — of occupying Ukrainian provinces extending 50 kilometres beyond the current front line.
Medvedev’s proposals are not new; since the onset of the war, he has consistently advocated for the complete disintegration and partition of Ukraine. What is particularly notable about this latest map is that, while the borders of Hungary and Romania would be extended, it deliberately avoids creating a direct Polish-Russian border.
In earlier maps and statements, Medvedev has repeatedly claimed that Ukraine is an artificial state whose right to exist will never be recognised by Russia. The latest map appears more as a geopolitical signal than a realistic plan, yet it could generate serious tensions in the region, particularly for Hungary, which would be directly impacted by any redrawing of borders.
Earlier proposals by Medvedev involving Hungary
This is not the first instance in which Medvedev and the Russian leadership have provoked international concern with similar maps and declarations. As we previously reported in March of 2024, during a lecture at the Russian Federal Education Marathon, Medvedev presented a map depicting Transcarpathia as part of Hungary. According to this map, Poland would also annex the north-western part of Ukraine, while Romania would gain the northern part of Moldova. During the lecture, Medvedev emphasised that Ukraine was historically Russian territory and asserted that peace could only be achieved under a new Ukrainian leadership that acknowledges the Russian-occupied regions.
After the first map was revealed in March 2024, a second was released to the public in November the same year. This subsequent map indicated that Medvedev and the Russian leadership’s ambitions extend beyond Ukraine. As part of a broader strategy projected up to 2045, the Russian Ministry of Defence has outlined plans to reshape global power structures. We previously reported on this “plan”, which entails the complete dismantling of Ukraine — with central regions administered as Russian puppet states, and the western territories, including Transcarpathia, divided among Hungary, Poland, and Romania.
This strategy would not only dismantle Ukrainian sovereignty but also pose a serious threat to stability in Central Europe, particularly affecting Hungary.
However implausible Medvedev’s visions may appear, they reveal that Russia’s geopolitical ambitions are not confined to Ukraine. The ultimate objective is to undermine Western influence and establish a new world order — one in which the roles of Hungary and its neighbours would be fundamentally redefined.
