A shipment of Ukrainian cash and gold worth around $82 million that Hungary seized earlier this year has been returned to Ukraine's state Oschadbank, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Wednesday.
The seizure of the valuables, which were being transported through Hungary by two armored cars when Hungarian counter-terrorism authorities detained them on March 5, caused outrage in Ukraine, where officials accused Hungary's pro-Russian government of acting illegally, and of using the seizure as a tool in Prime Minister Viktor Orbán’s anti-Ukraine election campaign.
