Following the abduction of Ukrainian cash-in-transit guards in Hungary, the National Bank of Ukraine has recommended that banks adjust cross-border routes to avoid countries where such shipments are at risk.

Ukrainian bank employees were reportedly detained in Hungary while transporting a cash shipment, leading to demands for their release from Ukraine's National Bank.

A team from the National Bank of Ukraine (NBU) is travelling to Budapest to clarify the situation surrounding the seizure of Oschadbank cash-in-transit crews.

According to the savings bank, the vehicles that were stopped contained US$40 million, €35 million, and 9 kg of gold.
