In a controversial move, Hungary has detained seven Ukrainian bank employees while seizing an estimated $80 million in cash and gold from a convoy operated by Oschadbank. This action has led to heightened tensions between Budapest and Kyiv, with Ukraine accusing Hungary of hostage-taking. The Hungarian government has stated that it is investigating the cash transport for potential money laundering, while Ukraine has urged its citizens to avoid travel to Hungary in light of the incident. Hungarian authorities plan to expel the detained Ukrainians, amidst ongoing disputes over Russian oil imports between Prime Ministers Orban and Zelenskyy.
