Ukrainian officials reported that Hungary detained and subsequently expelled seven workers from Ukraine's Oschadbank who were transporting cash and gold through Hungary to Austria.
Hungarian authorities recently detained and expelled seven employees of Ukraine's state Oschadbank, who were allegedly transporting cash and gold through Hungary en route to Austria. This incident coincides with a growing diplomatic rift between Ukraine and Hungary, particularly intensified by disputes surrounding the Druzhba oil pipeline, which has been damaged by Russian attacks and currently cannot transport Russian oil to Slovakia and Hungary. Both nations are pressuring Ukraine to repair the pipeline in exchange for their approval of a substantial new European loan to Ukraine worth ninety billion.
