Most Ukrainian Refugees in Czechia are from Transcarpathia

Transcarpathia is the former Czechoslovak province of Podkarpatská Rus (RUS). It is the Western most region of Ukraine. It is partially settled by Hungarians, and the Slavic locals have a vernacular that is hard for me to understand. It became a part of Ukraine in 1945. If you ask me, maybe I have missed it but I cannot recall Transcarpathia being targeted by rocket or drone strikes. The nearby Lvov, north of the Carpathian range experienced dozens of strikes. I kind of get that men flee recruitment. Besides, I don’t care about people milking the Czech state like this, the powers that be put their full support behind Ukraine, so this could not happen to a better government.
