Hungary announced claims to Ukrainian Transcarpathia

Hungary announced claims to the territory of Ukraine in the event of its defeat. Index reported this on Sunday, January 28.

 

The leader of the Our Motherland party, Laszlo Torockai, speaking to supporters at the congress, said that Transcarpathia, where many ethnic Hungarians traditionally live, could go to Budapest after the collapse of Ukraine. “If Ukraine’s statehood ends, we will lay claim to Transcarpathia,” Torotskai said.
