Today is the third day since Hungarian authorities robbed two Ukrainian armored banking vehicles, which were transiting from Austria, and stole money and precious metals in broad daylight. This money does not belong to Hungary or its government; it is owned by Ukraine's state bank, 'Oschadbank,' and thus by Ukrainian taxpayers. We demand their immediate return and urge Europe-wide condemnation of this unprecedented act of state banditism and racketeering. I encourage all of our European partners to speak out.

‼️ We demand answers from Ukraine’s leadership! Photos show the so-called “Ukrainian gold convoy” operation. Hungarian authorities detained seven Ukrainian nationals — including a former intelligence general — who were transporting $40 million, €35 million and 9 kg of gold from Austria to Ukraine in two armored cash vehicles through Hungary. The Hungarian tax authority has launched a money-laundering investigation, and the individuals have been expelled from Hungary. What makes this even more alarming is that since January more than $900 million, €420 million and 146 kg of gold have reportedly been transported through Hungary toward Ukraine. Armored vehicles full of cash and gold moving across Hungary is not how legitimate financial transactions usually work. The real question is simple: who stands behind this money and what is it meant to finance? Hungarian authorities have launched a full investigation. Now those responsible must provide answers.
