"By refusing to investigate this case, the Ukrainian authorities have effectively admitted that in their country, forced conscription, accompanied by brutal beatings and even beatings to death, is a practice that is approved and carried out by order of the state," Sijjarto said.

According to him, in any "normal and civilized country," the authorities would immediately launch an investigation in such a situation, and the perpetrators, along with the managers "who condoned it by turning a blind eye, would be immediately detained and arrested."

Siyarto also noted that Ukraine "not only has no place in the EU, but cannot be considered civilized". In addition, he criticized the European Union for its lack of condemnation of such actions.
