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.

@randahl orban's 3D chess:
1. Won in 2022 despite being ~3% down in the polls 'cuz of his fast propaganda response to russia attacking ukraine ~1mo prior: He postured as the "peace candidate" best equipped to deal w/ international crises
2. Now down ~10% in the polls w/ a much more robust opponent, his only effective campaign move was fear-mongering against Ukraine. He claims ukraine will attack hungary soon, so they hijacked the money to provoke a response from ukraine to prop up their story -
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 Is Orbán still alive or is it an AI clone? I think he will need a clone when his address is known by the Ukrainian military.

@randahl And these lawless bandits are now writing a law for this particular case, retroactively.

@randahl In connection with these events, the Hungarian government has just submitted a draft law, which could further deepen the conflicts. Bill T/13783 uses the seizure as a pretext for retroactive legislation. It creates a loophole to probe past transactions and authorizes secret surveillance of the opposition under 'national security.' This appears to be a 'two birds with one stone' move: addressing a crime while potentially legalizing political monitoring for partisan gain.

Thats 10 mins of oil transit value.
I hope Ukraine writes it off and we see the global bullies start to see the fog of their "greatness" vanish in the mirror when they trim their mustasches every morning.

It makes no sense to drive from Vienna to Kiev via Hungary.
Is there something else going on? -
