Trans-Carpathian Hungarians

AKA Hungarian-speaking Ukrainians deserve dual citizenship, Hungarian prime minister says.

"The position of 200,000 ethnic Hungarians living in Ukraine, attaches to this issue particular acuteness. Hungarian community there has to get dual citizenship, all rights of the national community, and it must be able to self-government. This is our clear expectations from the new Ukraine."

“Hungarians living in western Ukraine, who he said number about 200,000, ‘must be granted dual citizenship, must enjoy all of the community rights and must be granted the opportunity for autonomy.’"

Jackals and hyenas. Hungary demanded and got a piece of Slovakia in April 1939 after Germany latched onto the Sudetenland seven months earlier. Poland annexed Zaolzie in 1938, after the Munich agreement. Slovakia invaded Poland on 1 September 1939. (Wikipedia has a picture of “Cheerful German and Slovak soldiers posing with Ukrainian civilians in Komancza, Poland, in 1939.” That pretty much covers the history – Germans and Slovaks with Ukrainians in Poland.)
