Would not doubt that a bit. Hungary has had bad relations with Ukraine for awhile. Hungary's gripe: The treatment of ethnic Hungarians in Ukraine.

I have also just heard a report that Russia is considering parading up to 500 Ukrainian pow's in their May 9 parade. They did the same during WWII with German pow's. They continue trying to relate everything to WWII and their fight against the Nazi's/facists. That is also the reason that you are seeing Soviet flags on their equipment, They fly Soviet flags in all of the towns and villages that they occupy and they are even having staged Soviet flag ceremonies for the inhabitants in Melitopol while playing Soviet/Russian anthems. It was a flop btw. They are taking this narrative of "liberation from the facists 2.0 to the extreme. The Ukrainian people are not falling for their bullshite.

I think it’s whataboutism designed to reduce the political cost of Russia annexing these provinces.

They may also want Poland and Hungary to take back their old territories in what is now Western Ukraine.

At that rate, Putin may not have until May 9th to announce full mobilization.

Is Russia trying to Curry favor with its Muslim allies who are sending troops to help them in Ukraine ( Syria & Chechens ) by insulting Israel? I don't understand where they are going with this considering Israel has been careful not to criticize Russia.

I think they're just all in on their strategy of calling their opponents Nazis because it has a massive historical memory of being a righteous war in the minds of Russians and other peoples of former Soviet republics (including the Ukrainians). But like AU86 said, the Ukrainians aren't buying it. They have a higher standard of living and more freedoms than they used to under the Soviets. Plus, there's the little fact that there are actually very few Nazis there. Areas that resist are being razed, Ukrainian culture and heritage purged, citizens sent to filtration camps and elites liquidated, people sent to Russia against international law. Who's really acting in the tradition of the Nazis?

Putin has singlehandedly done more to expand NATO on its borders in the past 3 months ( 800 mile border with Finland) than NATO has in the past 30 years. It's border with NATO is more than doubled if Finland joins.


Putin. Chess.

While possibly overly antagonistic if both of them declared their bid to join NATO on either the 8th or 9th of May it would be "glorious". Just have a joint military parade of all the member (and prospect) militaries each year in Brussels on the 9th and call it NATO Victory Day.

I don't think any of the major western leaders have that level of savage troll game.
