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.
