Ukrainian MP afraid of a Hungarian attack against Ukraine
“Hungary might send soldiers to protect the Hungarians living in Subcarpathia”, Maxim Buzsanszki, a member of the Ukrainian Rada, wrote on his Telegram channel yesterday.
As we reported yesterday, Hungarian FM Péter Szijjártó talked about plans regarding the protecion of Hungarian lives provided the war reaches Transcarpathia, where 150,000 Hungarians live.
Mr. Buzsanszki believes the Ukrainian foreign ministry should demand an explanation regarding that statement. Who and how would like to rescue 150,000 Hungarians on Ukrainian territory? – he asked. He also said that Ukraine should raise Budapest’s attention that Szijjártó’s words are incompatible with respecting Ukraine’s sovereignty, index.hu wrote.
Mr. Buzsanszki thinks that Szijjártó’s statement referred to September 17, 1939, when the Soviet Union attacked Poland after calming Budapest that Hungary’s borders would be respected.

The Ukrainian MP should be worried. Russia is taking the south and the East. Poland has its eyes on the region known as Galicia, the area around Chernivitsi was formerly in Romania. And of course the area this side of the Carpathian mountains is formerly Hungarian land.
There is no historical country called Ukraine. Ukraine had 30 years to set up this mixed up land yet it failed in a spectacular fashion.
Probably the best solution is to break it up again!
