The criminals in Kiev claim...

Editor's note: ...the convoy belonged to a state bank and was part of a routine financial transfer. But the movement of such enormous sums in physical cash and gold raises obvious questions. At a time when Ukraine is receiving tens of billions of dollars in Western aid, incidents like this reinforce long-standing known corruption and the lack of transparency surrounding wartime finances. Hungary insists the seizure is part of a legitimate criminal investigation. Whatever the final explanation, the cash convoy demonstrates again a troubling reality: massive financial flows ("Ukrainian laundromat") tied to Ukraine's war effort are moving through opaque channels that demand far greater scrutiny.

‼️💵 💰 Hundreds of millions in cash and gold moving through 🇭🇺 Hungary toward Ukraine — escorted by people linked to Ukrainian intelligence. Armored vehicles, suitcases full of money, staggering sums.
