Obviously, Ukraine does not want to allow Russian oil flowing through Ukraine to Hungary, while Viktor Orbán is working against Ukraine in the EU.
But being about to lose the Hungarian elections on April 12, a desperate Orbán now seizes two armored bank trucks owned by a Ukrainian bank, travelling from Vienna to Kiev, carrying $40 million, €35 million, and 9 kg gold.
While we are trying to defeat Russia, Orbán is now stealing from Ukraine.

Orbán’s government presents this as if Hungary is stopping Ukrainian money laundering. But there is just one problem: If Ukraine was laundering money in Ukraine, that money would go out of Ukraine to buy assets in the EU. But the seized money and gold was travelling from Austria to Ukraine.
In a war, the economy runs on foreign cash, as people realize that the banking systems are often unavailable. And as Ukraine runs a huge trade deficit, it keeps running out of cash, hence the trucks.

@randahl I do hope the Hungarian elections can be held and that in fact they manage to topple him.
Everybody deserves better.

@randahl Orban who has accumulated experience at stealing EU money now extends his “skill” to Ukraine’s money.

@randahl You think he'd be able to spot money laundering better...
