Putin's plan to further dismember Ukraine: He divides Transcarpathia into Hungary & Slovakia - R. Fitso: "Not a single bullet in Kiev - The Nazis started the war"

The geopolitics of Eastern Europe is changing with the victory of the pro-Russian Robert Fico of the Smer-SD party in Slovakia who is expected to form a government.

Robert Fitzow who had declared that "not a single bullet will be fired in Ukraine as the war in Ukraine was started by the "fascists" and not by the Russians" gives Putin the possibility to keep in his quiver in time of need (if and if necessary) the dismemberment of Ukraine, parts of which can be taken by 4 countries:

Hungary, Slovakia, Poland and of course Russia.

Russia has plans ready before the start of the war to cede the Transcarpathian region to the two most loyal supporters of Moscow, Robert Ficho and V. Orban.

In other words, Ukraine risks not even being on the map in the future.

CNN: Slovakia election may have 'most far-reaching consequences' for Kiev and West

"Elections in Slovakia, won by a party opposed to aid to Ukraine, could have 'the most far-reaching consequences' for Kiev and the West," reports CNN columnist David Edelman.

In his opinion, Robert Fitzow's victory could give a boost to the "anti-Ukrainian campaign being waged in a growing number of European countries."

“Slovakia, one of seven front-line states bordering Ukraine, has sent significant quantities of weapons from its own stockpiles, including its own air defense system from the capital Bratislava.

It also has an incredible munitions industry that has served Ukraine since the beginning of the Russian invasion.

Just last April, the government pledged to quintuple production of critical artillery munitions to meet Ukraine's needs,” Edelman writes.

That is, now Kiev may not receive this ammunition.

The second problem is that the "anti-Ukrainian" parties, judging by the European polls, will receive a significant bloc of votes in the next European Parliament.

This calls into question efforts by the current EU leadership to scrap the "unanimity rule", which allows any country to block sanctions against Russia.

The third problem is the growing influence of "anti-Ukrainian" political forces in other European countries – for example, the Alternative for Germany reached a record popularity of 21%, which is higher than that of the ruling Social Democratic Party.

All this is happening against the background of the so-far failed counter-offensive by the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the hesitation of the US Congress on providing military aid, Edelman writes.

"Congress needs swift action to stop the further weakening—or even possible collapse—of Ukraine's strong support among Western democracies," the author concludes.
