According to reports, Ukrainian military commissars beat the man with an iron rod after they captured him, shoved him into a van, and took him to the military enlistment office.

As reported by Telex, it is about József Sebestyén — a native of Transcarpathia who had Hungarian citizenship. Hungarian publications, including the pro-government Mandiner, provide several versions of the circumstances of his death. According to one of them, the man ended up in a psychiatric hospital in Berehove, where he died. According to another, he himself sought medical attention, citing mental incapacity. The cause of death is called thrombosis, which could have resulted from a hematoma received due to the beating.
The media wrote that Sebestyén did not have a residence permit in Ukraine, which should have exempted him from mobilization.
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán also reacted to the incident, writing on his Facebook page: "Sincere condolences to the family of the Hungarian who died as a result of forced mobilization in Ukraine. In these difficult times, we are with you."
