Decizie istorică la Kiev. Ucraina condamnă oficial represiunile sovietice împotriva maghiarilor din Transcarpatia
The Ukrainian Parliament has officially condemned the Soviet regime's repressions and deportations against Hungarians and Germans in Transcarpathia from 1944 to 1946. This decision reflects historical and political significance amid strained relations with Hungary. The resolution recognizes mass arrests and deportations carried out by the Soviet military administration, which affected thousands of civilians. It also acknowledges the term "malenky robot," used to mislead victims about the nature of their forced labor. The declaration includes measures to preserve the memory of the victims, such as commemorative plaques and educational programs. This recognition comes at a time of heightened tensions between Ukraine and Hungary, particularly regarding the rights of the Hungarian minority in Transcarpathia.
