Hungary's brazen ambitions: Will Crimea or Donbas scenario repeat in Zakarpattia


In the international context and in that of Ukraine's foreign policy, the post of a minister for the development of Transcarpathian region should be seen as an encroachment by Budapest on Ukraine's sovereignty. Hungary weakened its foreign policy position when at the level of the EU and NATO it initiated a number of anti-Ukrainian decisions and blocked its neighbor's European and Euro-Atlantic integration. Until now, Hungary has appealed to Ukraine's internal issues, for example, "restricting the rights" of the Hungarian national minority. But Budapest's decision to establish a new ministerial post demonstrated that the issue of the Hungarian minority in Ukraine is in fact an issue of Hungary's foreign policy and territorial encroachment on Ukraine.
