Details: The publication writes that the 21-year-old Hungarian volunteer died on 24 May. Telex emphasises that he was not from Ukraine’s Zakarpattia Oblast but from Hungary.
The publication notes that in March 2023, he failed to report for duty, resulting in criminal charges being brought against him. The publication states that the man told his commander that he was going to fight in Ukraine.
According to unconfirmed information from a Ukrainian source, Benjámin Aser served in the Third Assault Brigade. He was killed in battle against Russian forces shortly after his 21st birthday.
The publication reports that Hungarian diplomats are currently working to return the body of the deceased to his homeland. Meanwhile, the father of the deceased volunteer, who lives in Canada, wants to bury his son in Kyiv or Toronto.
Journalists contacted Aser’s father, who said that his son had lived in Canada from 2019 to 2021, after which he returned to Hungary.
He confirmed that his son served in the Hungarian army on a contract basis before going to Ukraine, but as far as he knows, he went to the Ukrainian front not in the spring of 2023 but earlier and did not tell anyone about his plans.
The Anti-Imperial Block of Nations expresses its sincere condolences to the relatives of the deceased and his brothers.
