The origin of the latest development goes back several weeks.

Ukraine (Zelenskyy) was angry at Hungary (Orban) for blocking the €90 billion EU loan (a loan with no payback clause) which was backed by confiscated Russian sovereign wealth funds. A splendidly European financial scheme.

: Hungary seizes Millions in gold and cash linked to 'Ukraine

: war mafia'

: Vladimir Zelensky has issued an open military threat to
: Hungarian PM Viktor Orban, earning him a rare rebuke from
: his backers in Brussels.

:

: A Hungarian probe into money laundering has led to the
: detention of several Ukrainians who were transporting
: almost $100 Million worth of cash and gold bars through the
: country in an operation the country's Foreign Minister
: Peter Szijjarto has linked to a “Ukrainian war mafia”.

: The detention, a move Kiev has described as kidnapping, was
: announced as Ukraine's Vladimir Zelensky issued an open
: threat to Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, which
: earned Vlad a rare rebuke from his backers in Brussels.

: How much cash and gold did Hungary seize ?

: Ukraine’s second-largest lender, State-owned Oschadbank,
: announced on Thursday that two vehicles with approximately
: nine kilograms of gold and some $80 Million in dollars and
: euro, reportedly en route to Ukraine from Austria’s
: Raiffeisen Bank, had been intercepted by Hungarian
: officials.

: How much cash and gold has Ukraine shipped through Hungary ?

: “This year alone, more than $900 Million; €420 Million and 146
: kilograms of gold in bars were transported through
: Hungarian territory to Ukraine”, Hungary’s National Tax and
: Customs Administration (NAV), stated on Friday.

: Szijjarto then blamed “the Ukrainian war mafia”, for the flow
: of extraordinary sums of cash and bullion through his
: country.

: Tension has risen between Ukraine and its EU-member neighbor
: over Budapest’s desire to critically assess military aid
: and “unending” loans to Kiev from the bloc, culminating in
: a spat over Kiev’s refusal to ship key Russian oil through
: its pipeline network to Hungary and Slovakia, and
: Zelensky’s open threat against Orban.

: Who was shipping the gold and cash through Hungary to Ukraine
: ?

: Government spokesman Zoltan Kovacs said the intercepted
: Ukrainian transfer was being supervised by a retired
: Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) General and a retired Air
: Force Major as his right-hand man. All seven detainees will
: be deported, he added.

: GPS tracking placed the vehicles next to the office of a local
: law enforcement agency, which Ukrainian media identified as
: the Hungarian Counter Terrorism Centre (TEK). Hungary’s
: National Tax and Customs Administration (NAV) said Friday
: that the detention was part of a joint investigation with
: TEK targeting a major money laundering channel.

: Since November, Kiev has been shaken by a series of corruption
: scandals involving longtime associates of Ukrainian leader
: Vladimir Zelensky.

: Hungarian officials denied claims by Ukrainian Foreign
: Minister Andrey Sibiga that Budapest has failed to provide
: explanations, saying Kiev’s consular services had been
: immediately informed. Sibiga called for EU intervention,
: describing the incident as “Hungary taking hostages and
: stealing money.”

: Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, who accuses Zelensky of
: trying to trigger a fuel crisis ahead of key Hungarian
: Parliamentary elections next month, has warned that he may
: use force over Kiev’s refusal to resume Russian oil
: transit. He has already suspended the supplying of diesel
: to Ukraine and blocked a €90 Billion EU loan to fund
: Zelensky’s government.

: Zelensky responded with a personal threat, saying that unless
: Orban backs off, the Ukrainian military will be given his
: address and “speak to him in their own language”. Brussels
: has since condemned Zelensky's outburst.
