Hungary Accused of Hostage-Taking and Robbery by Ukraine
On March 5, Hungarian authorities detained seven Ukrainian citizens, employees of Oschadbank, along with two bank vehicles. These vehicles were transporting a significant sum of money, totaling $40 million, €35 million, and 9 kg of gold, between Austria and Ukraine. The Ukrainian Ministry of Foreign Affairs has characterized these actions as state terrorism and racketeering, demanding the immediate release of the employees and the return of the seized assets. This incident follows recent tensions between Hungary and Ukraine regarding the transit of Russian oil.
