The man who was beheaded by Russian soldiers in Bahmut came from Nagyszőlős in Transcarpathia. Szerhij Pataki (transliterated Potoki in Ukrainian) lived with his wife, six-year-old daughter and one-and-a-half-year-old son in a city of 25,000 people, whose quarter was inhabited by Hungarians. According to Ukrainian government sources, he was indeed the victim, Telex wrote.
"They took his phone and recorded what they did to him so that everyone could see," said a representative of the Nagyszőlős municipality to Telex. According to Vicseslav Kusz, Pataki worked in the market, selling vegetables and fruits. He joined the mobilization.
He served in Bahmut, which has been besieged by Russian forces since July, moving from house to house. Even now, four thousand civilians live in a peacetime town of 70,000 people, and the settlement is increasingly being compared by experts to the blood pump of Verdun during the First World War due to the heavy military losses of both sides.
The Ukrainian army acknowledged the man's death back in March, but specifics were not revealed until April 11, when the video was posted on Twitter. The Ukrainian army confirmed shortly after that one of their soldiers, captured by Russia, can be seen in the footage.
Civilians Info: When the Hungarian government vehemently opposes the war, one of its main arguments is that it protects the Hungarians living in Transcarpathia, or the descendants of Hungarians. The terrible Russian revenge against the prisoner of war also indicates: this war, blood pumping, cruelty must be ended immediately. A ceasefire is needed at any cost. Even at the price that the fate of the territories will only be revealed later. What will be wrong if they operate as an independent republic in the future? Maybe under strong Russian influence, but at peace.
It should have been realized in time that the Minsk agreement cannot be circumvented. There is no way around broad autonomy, full recognition and nurturing of the rights of minorities. A multi-ethnic state cannot be declared a nation-state! Forced assimilation cannot continue!
America and its European allies did not see all of this! In fact, they encouraged Zelenskiy's leadership to take up arms, promising NATO's protective umbrellas, promoting early EU accession, and certainly tolerated the terrible atrocities of the Nazi formations.
They could have known, Putin's leadership is determined! And even during the large-scale military exercises that preceded the war, it could have been remembered that OK, we also made a mistake, we need to negotiate immediately. But not! The West continues to feed the Bahamian blood pump, war, with training and weapons. He doesn't want to hear about the ceasefire.
It was not by chance that the nuclear bombers took off on the northern tip of Russia adjacent to America! Another warning: nuclear war is not out of the question for the Russians. And this can now be qualified in any way, but one thing is certain: it must not be allowed.
Viktor Orbán's continuous, persistent, desperate and, unfortunately, almost lonely peace mission in the Western world is the only solution. Cease fire and peace is the only solution.
According to the news, the beheaded vegetable seller boy was conscripted in Transcarpathia. The way it goes is that anyone who is a conscripted man and can be caught in a public place, in the market, on the street, will certainly be drafted into the defense of the "homeland", if necessary by force. Nagyszőlős is far from Bahmut. But here it is close to our border. These are our children, even if they don't speak Hungarian, because there may be many Hungarians among their ancestors, and the Hungarian language is currently not official in the multi-ethnic Ukraine. (Neither the Russians, nor the Poles, nor the Ruthenians, etc.) But the guys are good at dying at the front, protecting overseas interests, that's what they're good at!
We Hungarians do not want this. This is not our war! We don't want to suffer this, we don't want our children to die an ignominious death! We don't want them to fall into the hands of war criminals! We will not support further escalation with weapons and propaganda. Let the young people of Transcarpathia have the same future as others, the luckier ones who can live in peace. Let there be doctors, railway workers, computer scientists, greengrocers, not inevitable losses on who knows who's list.
The Hungarians do not want to be Ukrainian heroic dead!
