在乌克兰西部特兰斯卡尔帕蒂亚，对维克托·奥尔班在4月12日匈牙利大选的热情是分裂的：边境附近Syurte一位脖子上挂着拳击手套、明显喝醉的中年男人高喊他是“英雄”，而在地区中心乌日霍罗德的一位乌克兰语系匈牙利人安德烈亚则称已厌倦他的反乌克兰宣传并不再看匈牙利电视。 这种分歧同样发生在同一群体内部，说明该地区的民族匈牙利人并未形成统一政治立场。

奥尔班在海外匈牙利人中的基础仍然庞大：在2022年大选中，境外选票中有超过90%投给了Fidesz。自2010年以来，其政府已向学校、养老金和文化中心投入数亿欧元，并向海外匈牙利人发放超过100万本护照，这些物质回报帮助他在特兰斯卡尔帕蒂亚保留影响力，即便其反乌克兰表态正在引发更强摩擦。

战争使这一社群出现人口与心理双重收缩：乌日霍罗德有一面纪念墙摆放着220多名当地征兵者的照片，而在俄乌战争前约12万名居住于特兰斯卡尔帕蒂亚的匈牙利人中，留在当地的不及一半。Syurte许多房屋空置、乌日霍罗德街头几乎听不到匈牙利语，使“被夹在两火之间”的表述更接近现实。

Enthusiasm for Viktor Orban’s April 12 election bid in Transcarpathia is split, from a visibly drunk man in Syurte who calls him a hero to an ethnic Hungarian café patron in Uzhhorod who has stopped watching Hungarian TV, saying she is tired of his anti-Ukrainian messaging. The same diaspora does not vote as a single bloc, showing local identity has not translated into one political line.

Orban’s overseas base remains strong: in Hungary’s 2022 election, more than 90% of votes cast abroad went to Fidesz. Since 2010, his government has spent hundreds of millions of euros on schools, pensions, and cultural centers and handed out over 1 million passports abroad, which helps explain why his appeal endures in Transcarpathia despite growing friction from anti-Ukraine rhetoric.

The region is also shrinking under war pressure, with more than 220 local conscripts memorialized in Uzhhorod and, from roughly 120,000 Hungarians who lived there before the invasion, less than half still remaining. Empty homes in Syurte, rare Hungarian on the streets, the Szijjarto-Putin episode and pipeline accusations, plus Orban’s block on €90bn in EU loans and Kyiv’s retaliatory claims, show the communities are being trapped in an escalating Ukraine-Hungary diplomatic conflict.
