Hungary has demanded that the European Union (EU) impose sanctions against three employees of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine for the death of Hungarian citizen Jozsef Szebestien during forced conscription in Transcarpathia. This was announced on Wednesday, July 16, by Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto.

"Today in Brussels, we initiated the inclusion in the EU sanctions list of all persons responsible for forced military service, all those responsible for the death of a Hungarian in this case," Szijjarto said in a video message posted on his Youtube channel.

He specified that three employees of the military department of Ukraine and the leadership of the army should be punished "for organizing forced mobilization."

Szijjarto also called the raids on people on Ukrainian streets, which lead to deaths, a "recognized fact."

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 participate in senseless murder."
