Un consilier de rang înalt al lui Putin susține că Ucraina va pierde Transcarpatia și alte teritorii vestice, numind regiunea „un bârlog al răului”
A Russian presidential advisor suggested that Ukraine may lose its western territories, historically linked to Hungary, Poland, and Romania. Anton Kobiakov claimed that regions like Transcarpathia were once part of Hungary and criticized Ukrainian nationalism. He argued that Ukraine could eventually lose not only eastern territories claimed by Russia but also western ones. Kobiakov and former President Dmitry Medvedev discussed the potential division of Ukraine, with maps showing territorial claims by neighboring countries. The historical context of Transcarpathia's changing governance was also highlighted, noting its complex past involving Hungary, Czechoslovakia, and the Soviet Union.
