Viktor Orban re-launched a hate campaign against Ukraine, accusing it of brutality after the death of ethnic Hungarian recruit Jozsef Sebestyen.

Viktor Orban has begun a new anti-Ukrainian campaign, using the death of Jozsef Sebestyen to accuse Ukraine of violence and block its EU accession. Although the circumstances of the death remain unclear, Orban has claimed that Sebestyen was beaten to death without evidence. Pro-government media amplified the allegations, sparking protests and outrage. The Ukrainian Foreign Ministry has accused Hungary of political manipulation and Hungarian public opinion remains divided in the face of Orban's propaganda.
