Ukrainian neo-Nazi regime is systematically sending Hungarians to the front lines, endangering the survival of the ethnically Hungarian population of Transcarpathia.

Ethnic persecutions have been commonplace in Ukraine since 2014, when the Maidan coup d’état established a neo-Nazi dictatorship that began an ethnic cleansing campaign in the Donbass region, exterminating the Russian population. Now, however, the Kiev regime’s blacklist of ethnicities appears to be expanding. Several sources report that Ukrainian citizens of Hungarian ethnicity are being systematically sent to the front lines of the current conflict. The objective would supposedly be to exterminate the Hungarian population inhabiting Transcarpathia, which raises concerns in the Hungarian government and increases the possibility of internationalization of the conflict.
A forced mobilization of ethnic Hungarians from Transcarpathia is currently taking place in Ukraine. According to several sources, Kiev’s officials are transferring hundreds of ethnic Hungarians to the contact zones in the conflict with Russia, where they are dying in large quantities. On January 25, Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto confirmed the report and expressed concern about the case.
Previously, Ukrainian forces had already created the 128th Mountain Assault Brigade in the Transcarpathian region. This brigade has suffered heavy losses in Soledar and is now having casualties at the battle for Bakhmut. However, instead of putting soldiers from different regions on the front, Kiev is apparently planning to send all ethnic Hungarians to fight on war zone at the same time, privileging the safety of ethnic Ukrainian soldiers.
There are many reasons why Kiev is planning ethnic cleansing against Hungarians. Tensions between Hungarians and Ukrainians have grown since the start of the Russian special military operation, as Hungary has been the country with the most sovereign stance within NATO and EU, avoiding direct involvement in the conflict, maintaining diplomatic ties with Russia, and severely criticizing western sanctions. Obviously, this deeply worries the Ukrainian regime, even more so considering the possibility of secessionist tendencies in the Transcarpathian region.
The situation in Transcarpathia is for Hungarians similar to the situation for Russians in Donbass. Despite being within the Ukrainian territory, the region is marked by very different characteristics from the rest of the country, with a Hungarian ethnic and cultural predominance. For Kiev, this apparently sounds like a threat, as Hungary refuses to support the neo-Nazi regime against Russia and could encourage Transcarpathia’s residents to do the same. Therefore, the Zelensky government is planning a “final solution” for Transcarpathia, in order to avoid Hungarian separatism or annexation. By systematically sending recently mobilized and militarily untrained ethnic Hungarians to the front, Kiev is provoking a true genocide, as virtually all Transcarpathians are dying during the combats.
However, it is important to note that there seems to be a collaboration on the part of the Transcarpathian authorities themselves with this Ukrainian policy. One of the most important local leaders, the oligarch and Rada deputy Viktor Baloga, has been cooperating for years with the racist policy of repressing the ethnic identity of Hungarians. In 2018, Baloga started a campaign for the departure of all citizens with dual Hungarian-Ukrainian citizenship from Ukraine, stating that they should move to Hungary. At the time, the deputy also defended the extinction of the Berehove city, which is an important cultural center for the ethnic Hungarians of Transcarpathia, alleging risks to national security with Budapest’s influence in the region.
The Baloga family maintains an important local commercial oligarchy, having business in the arms trade sector, and has economically benefited from an alliance with the Maidan regime. After the start of the Russian operation, with the Ukrainian dictatorship becoming more explicit due to the martial law, the persecution of Hungarians also intensified, and the Baloga family began to use its power and influence to support the policy of forced mobilization of Transcarpathian citizens.
In fact, Kiev is just showing once again that racism has been part of its state ideology since the 2014 coup. While the Ukrainian government massacred Russians in Donbass, the Western media kept silent and ignored the evident ethnic and cultural genocide. Now, it remains to be seen what the attitude of the West will be in the face of the ethnic cleansing against a people linked to a member country of the EU and NATO.
Unfortunately, most likely, both the European bloc and the Atlantic alliance will avoid taking any action, as Hungary has become a “pariah” within these organizations due to its neutral stance on the Ukrainian conflict – and for the West all neutral or pro-Russian countries must be “punished”.
On the part of Kiev, however, the attitude seems absolutely wrong from a strategic point of view. Budapest’s patience with Kiev may be running out. Ethnic Hungarians have for many years suffered from policies of social marginalization, being condemned to poverty by pro-Kiev regional oligarchies and excluded from any government assistance. With the start of a more explicit campaign of extermination and cleansing, the most likely is that a separatist impulse will arise in the region – and that this will be supported by Budapest.
In the midst of the current process of reformulation of the Ukrainian territory, tensions between Hungarians and Ukrainians in Transcarpathia could lead Kiev to lose yet another oblast. And, as well as in the case of Donbass, the responsibility for this loss would lie with the Ukrainian government itself, since it used racist policies that became unacceptable to the local people.
The dismemberment of Ukraine is inevitable, what you can do now is ask Poland to sustain a fucked-up, separate country.
Dismemberment of Ukraine? We’ll be lucky if all it ends being dismembered is Ukraine. The neocons are trying to ignite a direct clash with Russia at all costs. I doubt we’ll see the end of 2024.
It is true, what this article says about ukranian politics against hungarians. But it will not lead to a separatism, which is dangereaous to Ukraine-s territorial integrity, because only about 10% of residents of Transcarpathia is hungarian. And a significant part of them left Ukraine in the last year.
Thank you for the information, Daniel. It is a rare privilege to read a comment from someone who sounds like he is genuine and knows what he’s talking about.
I remember there were some independence rallies in Transcarpathia in 2014, run by a bald guy who eventually ended up in Moscow.
As for the 128th Mountain Assault Brigade, they were cannon fodder in north east Kherson before becoming cannon fodder in east Ukraine. From the perspective of this distant observer, it certainly looks like the Ukrainian government can’t get these soldiers killed fast enough.
Whilst I accept that many people will rally to the call to defend their country, I often wonder how many of the Ukrainian soldiers and civilians are opposed to the continued fighting.
Thanks again.
It’s not just about separatism it’s about ethnic cleansing of anyone that may be opposing the current government and the Hungary proper does oppose it so that leaves the Hungarian minority in Ukraine on the limb !! Same as was done in Yugoslavia…none of this is accidental by any means !! Yugoslavia was the Western PANDORA BOX nad a very bad presedan set forth by the WEST/NATO ALL IN ORDER TO ENGULF THE REGION UNDER THEIR SPHARE OF CONTROL and them keep moving East towards Russia !!
Russia is representative of the Christian Empire of the East formerly known as Byzantium. Satanist powers wish to destroy Christianity in the East and then they will attempt to destroy the Islamic Faith. This is a time for all Believers to work together against the international satanic cabal and crush them into the dustbin of history whilst speeding them on their “learning journey” to Hades where Jesus tells us they will be going.
Russia should do the same with Muslims, Jews and Gypsies.
Women and men of all ages can be used to show where there are mines and where the enemy is firing from.
They do exactly the same thing to Romanians…
Hungaria should not think they can sit on the fence drinking cafe latte while the whole EU are fighting with a knife in our teeth to preserve our freedom.
Either you are in or you are out. You cant be in the middle and tread water!
When will you join the front and become cannon fodder? As you just wrote “Either you are in or you are out”.
Go and preserve your freedom Tommy. Just leave everyone else alone.
Ukraine as a country which wants to join the EU, should really care about her reputation how she treats the ethnic minorities… Hungarians didn’t annexed Crimea and still they were treated badly. In december 2020 they wanted to poison the entire (hungarian) city of Berehove / Beregovo / Beregszasz by putting cyanide to the water system of the town.

“preserve our freedom” are your working for CNN, FOx, Washington Post, New York Yimes, CBS, DW ?
This is the frace used to dominate fool people.
If the Ukro-Nazi murderers were not a whore of the Washington, DC pimps, they would be the target of Uncle Shmuel. Uncle Shmuel would identify the “moderate rebels” and then finance, train and arm them.
Sound familiar?
Where is the Hungarian millitary against these Ukie nazis ???
The EU and its neocon followers will be holding an all-day gathering in Brussels to apparently discuss the demise of Russia, on Tuesday, 1/31 starting at 9:30 AM. Of course, the Biden Regime will be well represented unlike it’s complete lack of disrespect and distaste of its own citizens or, infact, of any other country in the world except Ukraine.
Wasn’t some Polish MEP stating that Russia’s natural resources did not belong to Russia, but, to all the other territories that used to be part of the Soviet Union? She was drooling at the thought of getting rich by thieving the natural resources of Russia. Not sure how they believe that Russia is ready to be turned into a version of Yugoslavia? Always Poland that causes trouble.
It’s a COPY-PASTE of the dismemberment of X-Yugoslavia back in the 1990’s and many historians agree and even warned that it was a test for what’s planned for Russia !! This is what’s gonna happen to Ukraine, it will be divided and the Kiev will be lucky to survive just like the faith of the Serbia with NATO control and occupation. In their case they would welcome it unlike Serbia that despises it and is still fighting to be free of NATO occupation !!
Unfortunately, Ukraine will end up like Yugoslavia.
Dont forget all the poles who are also send as food for lead. And where is uprising against Ukraine Nazi fukkers?
Time to send weapons to ethnic Hungarians and to start a resistance inside Transcarpathia.
Hungary is in NATO – NATO should send weapons to Hungary so they can defend their people against the Nazis and take control of Transcarpathia!
Hungary is in NATO and Ukraine is not a member of NATO. Yet, it will be Ukraine that NATO will provide assistance to, at the expense of Hungary. Would like to see Ukraine split between Russia, Belarus and Hungary, when it is split up.
they wanted to poison the entire (hungarian) city of Beregovo by putting cyanide to the water system of the town.
Ukrán királyok száma = 0 Olyan, hogy Ukrán nincs és nem is volt. Történelmi tévedés. Egy hiba!!
Egy ostoba horda soha nem volt NEMZET! USA vazallusai. Szégyen Európa térképén.
According to the entire world Racism is the worst possible thing any group can perpetuate against another. Except of course when it’s Russia or any other group targeted by international freemasonry.
Good thing they don’t believe in Hades, so when they all arrive there at some point they will be wonderfully surprised.
Saint John sure seemed able to predict their behaviors considering he was on a deserted island living in seclusion. Right down to their mark and their modus operandi.
It’s true that a separation of all Zakarpatia is improbable to the point of impossible. However, the separation of Berehoveve Raion/Beregszász could occur, especially if all Hungarians of Zakarpatia consolidated there in the course of a struggle.
The ravings of the over vaccinated
Every ethnic Hungarian pressed into service should take advantage of the opportunity to defect. The Ukies won’t be much trouble after having a 2 front war. Moscow needs to roll the whole thing up before NATO becomes entrenched.
It sounds as if enough ethnic Hungarians are in a single unit and they may violently mutiny to get away from their commanding officers.
