In recent weeks, a series of incidents unfolded, even within Transcarpathia, where soldiers from the military staff command abused their authority by forcefully apprehending individuals and transporting them to various recruitment centers. These incidents included armed raids on thermal baths, restaurants, and gyms, as well as street kidnappings in Mukachevo, Uzhhorod, and beyond. The local population had to relive the brutality of the Eastern world, echoing the horrors of 1944.
As is known, Ukrainian has two counties that stand out for their brutal military mobilization tactics: one of these is the Russian-speaking Odessa county, the other is the multi-ethnic Transcarpathia.
Now, this says a lot about Ukraine's current chauvinistic "minorities policy," where everyone who speaks a different language than the 'Great Ukrainian' is perceived an enemy.
