Hungary blocks adoption of EU sanctions package until transit oil supplies resume

Hungary will block the adoption of the 20th package of sanctions against Russia, Péter Szijjártó announced on Sunday after a meeting with the Energy Security Council. The Foreign Minister added that the EU would continue to block the packages until Ukraine repairs the Druzhba pipeline damaged in a Russian strike and resumes oil supplies to Hungary.

Szijjártó said that the new sanctions package, which Hungary will not support, will be adopted at a meeting of foreign ministers on Monday. The Energy Security Council also discussed the issue of electricity supplies to Ukraine. Almost half of Ukraine's electricity imports come from Hungary.
