Hungary’s new Prime Minister Peter Magyar has ordered an internal investigation into the March detention of a Ukrainian convoy carrying gold. The convoy was stopped by Hungarian authorities earlier this year, prompting diplomatic tension. Magyar confirmed the incident and the subsequent return of the seized assets – gold and funds – to Ukraine last month. The investigation aims to determine the circumstances surrounding the initial detention and assess any potential irregularities. This move signals a shift in approach from the previous government regarding relations with Ukraine. Magyar stated the inquiry is a priority for his administration, seeking transparency and accountability. The outcome of the investigation could impact future bilateral relations between Hungary and Ukraine.
