A homeless Ukrainian citizen was beaten to death in Bratislava, Slovakia, the Slovak media outlet Aktuality reported on Feb. 3.<\/p>\n

The Ukrainian<\/a> man was found on Jan. 30 in front of the Nivy shopping center in Bratislava<\/a> with serious injuries to his head and body. He was hospitalized but died the next day due to the severity of his injuries.<\/p>\n

The man was previously caught stealing from the New Yorker clothing store in Nivy. Later, he was taken to a back room of the shopping center, as seen on the surveillance cameras.<\/p>\n

Slovak police are investigating several versions of the circumstances surrounding the death of a Ukrainian national, according to Aktuality<\/a>. Local law enforcement agencies have not ruled out the possibility that the man was beaten by police and private security guards.<\/p>\n

The paramedic who treated the man also pointed to a possible beating as the cause of the victim’s injuries.<\/p>\n

The Ukrainian Embassy has reached out to the Slovak police and Slovakia’s ombudsman.<\/p>\n

“Shocked by the tragic death of a Ukrainian citizen in Bratislava. We cannot exclude ethnic hatred as one of the reasons for this crime<\/a>,” Ukraine’s Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha<\/a> wrote on X.<\/p>\n

“We demand an impartial investigation and accountability,” Sybiha added.<\/p>\n

The death of the Ukrainian citizen comes amid increased tensions between Kyiv and Bratislava. Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico<\/a>, a long-time opponent of military aid to Ukraine, has escalated threats against Kyiv following the termination of Russian gas transit<\/a> via Ukrainian territory on Jan. 1. <\/p>\n

Fico’s Kremlin-friendly policies sparked widespread demonstrations<\/a> throughout Slovakia, which his government has blamed on an alleged Ukrainian-backed coup<\/a>. Fico has not provided evidence to support the allegations. <\/p>\n
