As we have reported before, Sándor Kis, 29, from Transcarpathia, was killed in the clashes in Ochakov in the Russian-Ukrainian war.

The Hungarian was on the last Ukrainian boat that did not surrender to the Russians during the fighting around the town of Ochakov in the southern part of the country. The boat was fired at by the attackers with a missile. 22 people were killed. Sándor Kis was a soldier in the Ukrainian Navy and the first Hungarian to die in the Russian-Ukrainian war.

Now a final farewell was said to him in Ungvár (Uzhhorod).
