If Budanov continues that terrorist insurgency, the Russians will reclaim ethnic Russia up to the Dnieper. What’s left of Rump Ukraine, Putin will toss into that pack of bloodthirsty, fratricidal western “allies” Z has. This will be the result.
🇵🇱Poland
• Western Ukraine (Eastern Galicia and Volhynia):

🇷🇴 Romania

🇸🇰 Slovakia:
• Transcarpathia (Zakarpattia Oblast):

🇭🇺 Hungary:

Ukraine will cease to exist. NATO will have destroyed it and salted the “Ukrainian” earth.
I have often heard this scenario. I am skeptical
How will Hungary, Romania and especially Poland, be motivated to officially (and firmly against US wishes, NATO, Brussels and UN and international law norms) take ethnic bits of Western Ukraine for their own?
Under what pretext and scenarios? They would be, to present NATO and EU eyes, accused of doing simply doing what Russia is doing in the East.
While they may have valid security reasons, I simply don't see any of them acting on this, unless NATO doesn't exist and EU is in total chaos.
