Hungary seizes Ukrainian cash: What it means for Kyiv? | Anders Åslund

In this episode of World Talks, we are joined by Anders Åslund, an Adjunct Professor at Georgetown University, to discuss the escalating tensions between Ukraine and Hungary after EU ambassadors opposed accelerated accession for Ukraine. Åslund described Hungary’s detention of Ukrainian bank staff and seizure of cash and gold as “a small nasty thing” and called Viktor Orbán’s behavior “obnoxious in relation to Ukraine and the European Union.” On the political stakes, he noted that Orbán is in the midst of a political campaign, while President Zelenskyy and Ukraine are in urgent need of the 90-billion-euro EU aid package, all while continuing to fight Russia’s invasion. Commenting on the EU accession prospect, Åslund stressed it remains realistic, saying: “Normally, it takes two to three years of intense negotiations, and then two years for ratification, which would take us to 2030,” while praising Ukraine’s legislative progress and anti-corruption reforms as significantly more advanced compared to Hungary's.
