An odd story of Ukrainian ‘mercenaries’ trying to occupy an ironworks factory in Hungary

From tekdeeps.com 

“A team of strikingly bald men with a distinctly militant impression, shaved bald, was detained by the authorities.”

The company later said:

“The Ukrainian minority ownership group wanted to occupy Dunaferr with a mercenary team at night, the group said in a statement issued by the dunaujvaros.com published. On Friday night, the police readiness was huge in Dunaújváros, because a group of dozens of people wanted to go into the factory. THE To Telex Mayor Tamás Pintér said that a group of 50 security guards wanted to get into the city, but the police turned them back. Dunaferr said that after the verbal and legal aggression of recent months – as well as a number of threatening messages – István Mikó and his team were preparing for physical aggression.

“’Mikó acts on behalf of Dunaferr’s Ukrainian minority owner, Tatjana Taruta and her circles, and according to Dunaferr’s information, she was prepared to occupy the ironworks with a mercenary team recruited. A team of strikingly bald men with a distinctly militant impression, shaved bald, was arrested by authorities on Friday evening.”

Also: "Dunaferr thanked the police and state authorities, the leadership of Dunaújváros, for preventing the violence and protecting the city and the workers and Dunaferr “from this attack by an unprecedented, arbitrary and aggressive team in Hungary”. They added that they owe a huge debt of gratitude to each of our colleagues who stand up to this extraordinary situation and ensure continuous production in the factory, which is the key to Dunaferr’s survival. The announcement was concluded that production was uninterrupted despite the attack. Dunaferr has been in crisis for years. The country’s largest metallurgical-mechanical complex previously operated with a loss of tens of billions of dollars in sales of 3-4 billion, the company gradually reduced its production from June 2020, and then terminated the collective agreement of the workers. The Danube Ironworks, which has been running iron since 1954, was bought by a group of Ukrainian investors in 2004, but later became the majority owner of the company. The main owner is one of the largest Russian banks, which is the zrt. he recalled his three delegates from his board half a year ago, leaving the panel inoperable. The fourth member of the board, an Armenian entrepreneur, is in prison, and the fifth is the influential Taruta group in Ukraine, with which the Russian majority owner is at war.”
