Kyiv Welcomes Return of Seized Cash from Hungary, Seeks Reconciliation
Published by WarSignal Editorial · Last updated
Kyiv welcomed the return of 1.5 billion euros that Hungary had seized from Ukrainian officials in 2022. The money was handed over by the Hungarian government in a ceremony in Kyiv, where Ukrainian officials thanked the Hungarian authorities for the gesture.
The funds were originally confiscated following a corruption investigation that led to the arrest of several Ukrainian officials. Hungary’s decision to return the money has been described by Kyiv as a step toward mending diplomatic ties.
The move comes amid ongoing discussions between the two countries about restoring cooperation after a period of strained relations triggered by the 2022 seizure.
