A farewell ceremony was held on Maidan Nezalezhnosti (Independence Square) in Kyiv for Benjamin Asher, a volunteer from Hungary who fought with the 3rd Separate Assault Brigade and was killed in May this year.
This was reported by a correspondent for hromadske, according to Censor.NET.
Asher served as a rifleman with the brigade’s 2nd Mechanised Battalion. His comrades-in-arms, Chief Rabbi of Ukraine Moshe Azman and the fallen soldier’s father came to pay their last respects.
During the farewell ceremony, Azman said that Benjamin Asher is a hero not only of the Ukrainian and Hungarian peoples, but also of the Jewish people.
As a reminder, on 24 May, 21-year-old Hungarian citizen Benyamin Asher was killed in combat for Ukraine. He had been fighting on the side of the Armed Forces of Ukraine as a volunteer fighter.
