Orban called on the EU to impose sanctions against Ukraine for human rights violations

Hungary has initiated a discussion in Brussels on European Union (EU) sanctions against the Ukrainian leadership for human rights violations. This was announced on July 15 by Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban.

"Today, the Hungarian government initiated the inclusion of Ukrainian leaders in Brussels...> to the European Union's human rights sanctions list with immediate effect," he wrote on Facebook (the social network belongs to the Meta company, whose activities are recognized as extremist and banned in the Russian Federation).

It is clarified that Orban made such a statement as a result of the death of Hungarian citizen Jozsef Chebestien during forced conscription in Transcarpathia. According to the Prime Minister, employees of the shopping mall (the territorial recruitment center, an analogue of the military enlistment office in Ukraine) beat him "to death."

"The regime in Kiev is gradually degenerating into a terrorist organization"

On July 10, the Hungarian Ministry of Foreign Affairs summoned the Ambassador of Ukraine, after Chebestien died from his injuries. According to Hungarian Foreign Ministry Secretary of State Levente Magyar, it is unacceptable "to beat a person to death, and even a Hungarian, just because he did not want to go to war and did not want to participate in senseless murder."
